Ms. Jean's second and third graders are studying electricity and magnetism. We are making puppet partners to
display their experiments and amazing information. The kids are
naming them Amps, Watts, Lightening Bolt, Volts, Tesla, Free
Energy - and let us not forget Electric Kitty!
Ms. Audrey's kids are beginning to learn real live storytelling. They are designing tee shirts with pockets for props and prompts. I'll be stitching them up on the machine; later the kids will add ribbons, bells, butterflies and things just like Brother Blue, a famous old teller from Boston.
They are making tiny creatures to pull out of their pockets at just the right moments.
We are on the home stretch with lamp making. In fashion design, lots of hats coming, along with tunics and skirts. There's more - painting brains and neurons on sweatshirts, "I use my brain to create my
days" - salmon on wood slabs - popup paper bonfires and dragons. Sticky
hands, splatters of paint, make sure you put the needle in the pin
cushion, sweep the floor, listen to some Mozart? Always, there is more, much, much more!
Happy New Year Everyone! Don't we live in interesting times!!!
