You will need
·       Pompoms
·       Pinecone
·       Glue
·       Green paint
·       Plastic star
·       Golden string
First you need to take the pinecone and paint it green. You should probably let it dry for a half an hour or an hour. Next you glue the pompoms onto the pinecone. Then you glue the star onto the top of the pinecone. Make a hole on the top of the pinecone and put the string through the hole. Then you got yourself a Christmas tree ornament!

Mrs. Rivers

I interviewed Mrs. Rivers, and she said she has been a teacher for 33 and a half years. She has taught 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. Her favorite subject to teach is math because she said it's fun to see kids learning so fast and so much. When she is not teaching, she is grading work.  In the summer time she is at Lake Michigan spending time with her family. Mrs. Rivers just moved from 4th to 5th grade. She said that it is challenging to learn so much stuff. She said it's lots of fun because kids are so great. But she also missies her kids from last year.

stiff cardboard 10 or more pieces
brown, green spray paint
scissors
stamps, paint
spray glue
tape


First you cut a big tree in the cardboard in 3 sections.
Spray paint the steams of the tree brown and the rest green.
Let it dry for about an hour.
While it is drying, cut circles in the cardboard, the ornaments so decorate them however you want with paint or stamps. Then let them dry. 
When the tree is done drying use some tape to tape the tree on the wall.
With the spray glue, spray it on the back of the ornaments then put them on the tree. When they are on the tree, post the tree on the wall.
