Monday Madness

I thought instead of focusing on any one project like I usually do, I'd give you a few snapshots of my Monday.

It started with the Wright Brothers.  Reading fun day is coming up in a couple of weeks.  This time the theme is "First in Flight".  So I'm making the Wright Brothers as lifesize cutouts.  They'll stand at the entrance and exit of are area.  So I have to make 2 of each.

Next is a mini update on the lighthouse project.  As you can see, the fourth graders are adding more forms with paper mache.  They are taking shape.  Houses, boulders, bushes, etc., are being added.

And last but not least, our ECP students used tissue paper, tempera paint and paper plates to make a Valentine's Day hangings.

That shows you some of the variety of projects I'm helping to make throughout a given day.  I certainly don't have time to get bored.  This was only a half day with students.  Most of my morning was working on the Wright Bros.  Tuesday is a full day with wall to wall classes.  I'll be able to show you some more progress on the lighthouses.
