Paper Snake

Image
 Project Description: I had a big sheet of construction paper that was purple. I used two stencils to create the strip for the head and tail. The rest of the paper was cut into strips to use to create the body. I used purple because it is my mom's favorite color and I use blue for every thing. White and black paint was used to create the eyes on the snake as well as adding pattern to the body of the snake. Extension Activity: If there is a jungle theme either in the classroom or throughout the whole school, the snakes could be made by each student. The snakes would then get hung from the ceiling to look like snakes reaching down from tree branches. A fun way to incorporate the students into decorating the classroom.

 Dot Activity Explanation: In the middle was supposed to be written "Be Positive." When writing it, I didn't push down hard enough with the crayon. I used blue in the middle thinking it would be dark enough to get the words to pop out. I used yellow on the outside so that there was some positive color.   Extension Activity: Coffee filters could be used in a math lesson. On each coffee filter a teacher could write a math problem on them in white crayon. Students would use a darker water color to figure out what the problem is on each coffee filter. Then students would solve them. It could be like a little scavenger hunt.
