Friday

Today is the day we are in the classroom all day.  In the morning I will read with the seniors and we will all write in our writing folders.  In the afternoon, we are going to make patterns with feathers.

Are you looking for an after school project to do with your child?  Try this idea!

A Green Valentine

You will need a table covering, small or medium size pot, potting soil, spoon or small trowel, ivy plant, ruler, a roll of florist wire, scissors and red ribbon.

Cover the table you will be working on.  Pot the ivy according to the plant directions.  Measure and cut three 100 centimetre long pieces of florist wire,  Match up the ends and twist the three pieces together into 1 strand.  Bend the twisted strand of florist wire into a heart shape, with the loose ends forming the V at the bottom of the heart.  At the bottom of the V, twist the ends together, leaving about a 12 centimetre stem to stick into the potting soil.  Stick the heart into the pot near the base of the plant.  Tie a red bow at the top of the heart.  Loosely wrap strands of the ivy around the heart.

Have fun!
