The Year of the Rat is coming soon!

This week we had a guest teacher come in to make rats with us for the upcoming Lunar New Year!  She had all the material ready for this very tricky project.
Mrs. Duncan had everything ready for us in individual zip lock bags!

We carefully removed everything and checked that we had all the pieces


Then we all got busy...stuffing, gluing, twisting!

They are beginning to look like rats!

 We used paper clips and clothes pegs to hold down the spots where we glued.  That way our hands were free to keep working

Getting the shape of the ears right was tricky!  


We could twist the tails so many different ways!

 These rats are sure cuter than REAL RATS!!

When we finished making our rats, we named them and wrote a little bit about them.  They are nibbling on fortune cookies!



 Thank you Mrs. Duncan for all your hard work.  AND thank you for this wonderful display!
