a little about today

Today, the children see Miss McGregor for physical education.  In class, we will focus on the alliteration in Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, discuss how to predict what's coming next in the book, turn the book into a song, and act it out.  In Mathematics, we will work on our estimation skills, comparing quantities of different sized items.  Also, I will be reading with seniors and we will all write in our writing folders.

Looking for another after school activity?  Try this:

Record Achievement

You will need: newspaper, inexpensive 20x25cm picture frame and cardboard liner, discarded CD, acrylic gold paint, paintbrush, small games pieces or metal charms, clear gel glue, white paper, pencil, low-plush velvet fabric remnant, gold glitter marker, rubber cement

Spread out newspaper, and lay CD and picture frame on it (you don't need the glass from the frame).  Set cardboard liner from the picture frame aside.  Paint 1 side on CD and the frame gold.  When frame is dry, use clear gel glue to attach metal trinkets to the outside of the frame.  While trinkets dry, trace around the cardboard liner on the white paper.  Cut it out and use it as a pattern to cut out the velvet.

Practice writing on velvet scraps with the gold glitter marker.  Plan what to write, be brief.  Write the name of the person receiving the award first the then kind of award.  Brush back of velvet and the front of the cardboard liner with rubber cement.  Then put them together and let dry.  Next use rubber cement to glue the CD to the top center of the velvet.  Be sure there is enough room around the edges to put the piece into the frame.  Write information on the velvet with the marker.  Let the words dry, and put it in the frame.  Surprise your achieving friend!!

Happy crafting.
