We recently worked on a special Santa Claus project, but with a twist—we used \"people-colored\" paper so the students could make Santas that look like themselves or their families. The children carefully chose the skin tones that best matched them and added their own unique faces. The paper cutter helped prepare the pieces quickly and safely, giving the kids more time to focus on their creative work.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe students were so excited to see all the different shades of paper! One child said, \"This one looks like me!\" while another decided to make a Santa that looked like their grandpa. They were proud to create something personal and loved sharing their Santas with the class.\r\n\r\n\r\nWe are continuing to learn about kindness and celebrating differences. Next, the students will use the \"people-colored\" paper to create self-portraits on the 100th day of school. These projects help them recognize that everyone is special and unique while practicing their cutting, gluing, and creative skills.\r\n\r\nThank you for providing the materials that allow us to celebrate diversity and creativity in our classroom.

These items have motivated our students and made them genuinely excited about this portion of the day. One of the most memorable moments was when my students first saw the flashlights—their faces lit up with excitement, and I overheard one student exclaim, \"This is the coolest thing we've ever done in class!\"\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we'll continue using these items to keep our students engaged and actively involved in their education.
