"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Workshop Wednesday

Today will be the last post for 2010. Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas Trees
Materials: red construction paper (full sheets cut in half), tray with green strips cut into graduated lengths (1 inch wide strips in lengths ranging from 1 to 5 inches), basket of brown "trunks", basket of yellow stars and glue

Directions: Have children take a red piece of paper and one of each of the green strips. Have them arrange their green strips on the red paper (oriented vertically by length) and have an adult check before they glue.  Add the tree trunk and star.  You can have the children add sequins or other shiny materials for ornaments or draw their own. Beautiful trees!
