Watch a fancy, fun snowflake from folding to complete ...great for classrooms from K-12! Fun for parties....winter bulletin boards, windows...even geometry lessons. Snowflakes! One of the most creative ideas for winter.

I found a great website that offers all sorts of bulletin board kits. So cute and so much better than anything I have in my closet. Reasonably priced, especially with how much time they could save me.

Many of the activities can be adapted for use with Valentine cards, and for Earth Day/Eco themes.

Ummm...I am not an art teacher, but this is an idea I had as a way to get to know your students names, a little about them, and make it into a fun craft idea.

You can take a large piece of white paper, a posterboard (any color the student wants) or maybe some long white cardstock. What you are going to do is have the students make a collage of words that describe them all centered around their name. I am also a writer and keep a Thesaurus handy so looking at that little book gave me this idea. You can have them print/paste, draw, paint etc. the words any way they want and maybe add some designs in there that go along with things that they like to do. (You could have musical notes for chorus/band people or maybe headphones for people who like music, skateboards, skate tracks etc. You know what I am talking about.) You would put the words all in different shapes and sizes around the board and then have the students tell what it is and why the words describe them. I do not know if this is a good enough description but I found it to be a neat idea.
Hope everyone's having a happy new year! I got an email from a site I ordered from before that gave me a pretty awesome deal so I thought I'd share it here. If you use this code (NY2010) you can order a New Start Package and get $10 off. I already have the book so maybe someone else can use the code. Have a great new year!
Can anyone give me ideas for crafts for my art centers? I always struggle with these for some reason. I'd love some links or anything to help me get organized with these centers (It is a center the kids do independently during literacy lesson times.) Thanks very much!!

The paper is in small to medium sized rolls of 50 to 500 feet. It is between 36" and 96" tall with most being approximately 48”. Depending on what we have run the week prior to your appointment, there might be up to 5 different weights of brown craft paper, 5 weights of white paper including wrapping type tissue, cardstock and poster board by the roll. Periodically we might also have some plastic, film, and fabric.
This is an unprecedented opportunity for your church or school to save lots of money on your budget for paper you would otherwise have to purchase for crafts projects, etc. What we are offering your school or church is an almost unlimited supply of paper to use for your organization.
Email me and I will email you back with my telephone number for further information. Paper can be picked up by appointment only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are four appointments each day at 2:30, 3:00, 3:30 and 4:00. We reserve the right to limit quantities of certain papers, but you are welcome to make another appointment and pick up more.
You will be required to sign a waiver to pick up paper.
This is for non-profit schools, churches etc. and I will need some sort of proof (letterhead that can be verified in the phone book, a Scouting Adult Membership card (that can be verified through the scouting office), etc.

Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the voting rights movement to the trial of the Jena 6 – young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what today’s youth have to say about the question, “What does equality mean to you?†To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.
In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.
The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws – remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues.
NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, “What does equality mean to you?†Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways – by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. To receive the guidelines and information on how students can send in their entries, please contact me directly at [email removed].
The contest's official launch date is on February 12, 2010 (President Lincoln's birthday and Black History Month). Submissions for this contest are due by Monday, April 12, 2010.
We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.
Many thanks,
Naoma Nagahawatte The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights

The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is a non-partisan movement working to ensure that our courts protect and preserve equal justice, fairness, and opportunity. We achieve these goals through raising awareness, outreach, and building alliances. Recognizing how little information about the status of civil rights in the courts is reaching people across the country, NCRCR is focusing on public education and outreach, finding ways to get the message out about the impact of court rulings on our neighborhoods, our schools, our opportunities and our rights.
