Classroom Door Decoration

Our art month activity for the week was a classroom door decoration contest.  Each of the students colored their own flower and butterfly to go with our door.  A special thanks to Mrs. Miller who helped us cut out the letters and to Jordan, Jasmine, and Allison who placed and glued all of the flowers, butterflies, and other object on the paper.  They did a great job!  I will post the other teachers' door designs on the class website if you'd like to see them.
