First School Project

When we went to Madelyn's Open House, they gave us a special project to work on together. We had to add some pictures to a sentence strip and let Madelyn decorate it.

We tried to include pictures that showed the things she loves most. She had a good time deciding which pictures to use. I would show her several pictures of Bunny, for example, and she'd pick the one she liked the best.


Then we glued them to the sentence strip (I did most of that to make sure they would all fit on the strip of paper.) But, then came the fun part. The part Madelyn was most excited about... STICKERS!


I found some stickers that matched the theme of some of the pictures (cooking, the beach, dogs, etc.) and she got to put them where she wanted them. She thought this was really cool.


When the project was finished, she also added her name, a rainbow, and of course, her very favorite thing to draw, a smiley face on the back.


Her teacher will be laminating each child's project so they can hang them in the classroom and talk to each other about them. What a fun way to get to know each other!
