It has become a tradition for the 5th graders to create decorations for a CCES Middle School Christmas tree for Greenville's Festival of the Trees. This year it will be an Asian tree with 2 dragons and their fire wound through the a nine foot tree culminating at the base! The dragon's bodies will be made of overlapping fans painted by the students. 5th grade mottos will also adorn the tree, like new year's resolutions. Fun should always be a part of the creative process and this what my 5th graders teach me every Thursday and Friday in my class....
