"Christmas Houses" by Fifth Grade

Here are some lovely houses the fifth grade decorated for Christmas. They all started with the same basic shape and were encouraged to add on to it. Then they added all kinds of Christmas decorations. I told them to think about their own houses or houses they have seen while driving around. After they finished adding all the decorations, they filled in any Christmas details with marker, while coloring in the rest with crayons. We talked about pressing lightly on the crayons to get a soft, even color. They did a nice job.

They are very sweet...
