We used to have a wonderful indoor water fountain sculpture made of copper tubing. It had a biplane and a hot air ballon on the top, and the motion of the water made them twirl around.
One of the fountain's joints came loose, so my husband took it to a high school metal shop to have it repaired. Unfortunately, it "mysteriously" disappeared
Hi,, Was wondering if anyone had any cute ideas for the Christmas season dealing with decorating for Mexico. Would love to do something with the kids dressed in Mexican costumes. Any suggestions would be more than apprecaited. Thanks again JAM
A glue stick, conversly, applies relatively small amounts of paste to the desired area. There is a better chance for clean kindergartners when they leave your classroom.
I do, however, have fond memories of using paste in luxorious amounts on my arts and crafts while in kindergarted myself!
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THE HECK PASTE IS FOR? WHY WOULDNT SOMEONE USE A BOTTLE OF ELMERS INSTEAD? OR A GUE STICK?
If you buy sticks with the purple color, you can teach your students the proper amount of glue to apply. Just tell them that once they see the purple, there's no need to put more glue on that area of the paper. Also, use white glue for more heavy duty work. Glue sticks are for fastening lighter weight paper, etc.

I am working on a community service project at MIT to make good SAT prep fun and free at [link removed].
We'll award $600 in prize money to the video that receives the most number of votes from viewers. We'll also give out 1 free iTunes song for every 5 videos a contestant submits or refers (up to the first 1,000 video submissions).
The more video submissions we receive, the more helpful we believe the site will be. I am hoping to find teachers who are interested! Please be interested!!! :] Or forward my message to someone who might be.
Feel free to reach me at my email address. I would be happy to provide more info about our event.
