For our j craft I had the students cut out different coloured jelly beans and then glue in in a jar. I loved this craft for the simple fact that they got lots of practice cutting ;) They turned out great as well. I showed them a real jar with jellybeans and pointed out how the colours were in all different spots. They also were not all in rows. So their challenge was not to put them in any order or in any pattern (which they love doing as we have done TONS of this in our math lessons) They met the challenge and their jars turned out awesome.
You know the poem "Everything I learned, I learned in Kindergarten"? Well, as a teacher of that particular age, I am still learning everyday; through the cute and innocent way they live life. Enjoy my stories!
