3. ARTS TO CRAFT
CHALK AND GLUE DRAWING:
http://www.kinderart.com/drawing/chglue.shtml
Elementary students will create a still life in a unique
manner. They will first spread their art pages with white
glue, and while it is still wet, they will color in designs
with chalk pastels.
CHALK AND STRING DESIGNS:
http://www.kinderart.com/drawing/chstring.shtml
Create your own string chalk designs following the sim-
ple instructions here. You will need a wood board, yarn,
chalk, and thumbtacks--the rest is easy--and fun.
STAINED GLASS DESIGNS:
http://www.kinderart.com/drawing/stained.shtml
Use some pictures of stained glass to inspire your stu-
dents with this art project. White glue becomes the lead,
while chalk pastels fill in the stained glass colors on
a background of black construction paper.
CHALK ART FOR READING AND WRITING:
http://www.geocities.com/msholly.geo/transition/ChalkArtReading.html
Here's a way to integrate art with both reading and
writing. Take your chalk out to the school concrete
pavers and let your students illustrate a class read-
ing book, adding a few sentences to explain what they
are drawing.
SIDEWALK CHALK RECIPES:
http://www.easyfunschool.com/article1279.html
http://www.easyfunschool.com/article1024.html
http://www.easyfunschool.com/article1058.html
Find some great ways to whip up batches of sidewalk
chalk and paints. Use them for the art lessons above,
or for older students, have a sidewalk chalk art fes-
tival--use pictures of the masters' paintings to copy,
and add the students' own poetry. Make your sidewalk
chalk festival an annual event for your school.

4. HOLIDAYS AND EVENTS
THANKSGIVING . . .
TREE OF THANKFULNESS:
http://www.makingfriends.com/tree_thankful.htm
Grab some tree branches--without the leaves--along with
different colors of construction paper, scissors, and a
few clothespins and markers for this art project. Students
will add their messages of thankfulness for a special hol-
iday tree.
THANKSGIVING BOOKMARKS:
http://www.janbrett.com/bookmarks/thanksgiving_day_printed_manuscript.
htm
Children's author and illustrator Jan Brett offers some
of the most stunning printable bookmarks available, and
these Thanksgiving versions are no exception. Print them
out and give them out to your students for your own way
of saying thanks.
THANKSGIVING DINNER:
http://www.theteacherscorner.net/seasonal/thanksgiving/dinner.htm
Connect social studies with math by having your students
create their own menu, and then locate the prices using
newspaper ads. They will compare costs at two different
locations for the meal they have planned.
A THANKFUL TURKEY:
http://www.easyfunschool.com/article1698.html
The tail feathers of this turkey become the notes from
your students on what they are thankful for this year.
Start a turkey tradition with your classroom, and put
this one up on the bulletin board in November.
EVEN SO, I AM THANKFUL:
http://www.lessonplanspage.com/OEvenSoIThankful712.htm
You've got to accentuate the positive... Middle and high
school students will use this lesson plan to consider what
might be negative elements in their own lives, and try and
turn them around to find what just might be positive about
the experience. Have fun with this lesson--if your students
get stuck, try making up some hilarious reasons to be thank-
ful.
