a faithful attempt: Circle Grid Tree

This is a perfect back-to-school lesson as well as a perfect end of the year lesson. Simple materials, straightforward directions -----> perfect for those times of the year where it can be stressful or hectic.

I've posted about this lesson previously HERE.

I found the lesson HERE.

I use markers for this project but you could also use coloured pencils or crayons.

I have different marker brands organized in different bins.

I print the template onto regular 8 x 11" photocopy paper. I've also used larger sizes before but they take a really long time to finish and students can lose motivation.

I encourage the students to create a pattern within the tree. I give them free reign in terms of colours.

They write down the colours they use on the bottom of the paper so they know which colours to use next class.
