Jen Here's a great Post Christmas Craft that's Green! I did it with my High School science class while we watched a video on saving our earth and brainstormed more ways to reduce, reuse and recycle!

Does anyone have an idea for a craft project dealing with the tale of despereaux? I thought about making a wind chime out of spoons? I'm pretty new at teaching a book club. Thanks!

Art projects as a prompt for writing

by Laura

Feb 11, 2009

This is my first year in All Day K. I need some more activities for them! I'd like some site that has art ideas or patterns of animals/objects, that I could have them use as a prompt for some writing as well as doing some kind of art activity. Anyone know of a website or a good resource book for this?

Ukrainian Egg Decorating

by Catahoula

Feb 20, 2009

In my old school, I used to teach my juniors how to do Ukrainian eggs - complete with bees wax, kiskas, dye, eggs, etc. At my new school, we have overhead sprinklers and these don't work well with the candles we need to melt the wax. I hate to give up this project as it really strengthens students spatially and has even helped some with geometry. B...See More

Jennifer/1&2/Alberta I like the traditional method best, but I have seen two other versions you might want to try. (Experiment first!!) You can use masking tape on the egg, round stickers, etc. and then dip in the dye. I've also seen wax crayons used.

Catahoula Thanks Jennifer! Sorry I didn't get back to you. We were able to find a room in the building that was large enough to do the traditional Ukrainian eggs without setting off the sprinklers - the banquet hall of the Church. We also did the tape and crayons too! Thanks!
