Today before breakfast I set out a template of a star that I was going to use to cut some sea stars out for a project. I left them with construction paper and some scissors "in reach" while I went in for a shower. When I returned to the school room, both boys had traced and cut out multiple stars and colored them to look like what they called chocolate chip sea stars. They made a whole family of them and were using them as puppets. They asked for popsicle sticks to add to their puppets, and had a great time. It was NOT planned that way, but I just couldnt stop their creativity. It was GREAT! Later they asked if I had more stencils. I gave them what I had and they created more "Creatures" with them. My oldest (7 years old) made multiple angry birds and had his own home made NON app version to play. :)Thanks for giving me a reason to celebrate their creativity.~~Audrey O.~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01990920506829403269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-62213716903410800132012-04-23T23:02:46.491-05:002012-04-23T23:02:46.491-05:00I think my biggest success so far has been seeing ...I think my biggest success so far has been seeing my daughter become INTERESTED in the world around her again. She had long ago stopped asking "Why" and "How" and now she does... and I love it! She is hugely into science, always has been, but has newly discovered a love of music, and watching her become obsessed with Celtic music and The Phantom of the Opera is just amazing.Joan Conciliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037521306574698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-74080069282502900002012-04-23T20:39:21.521-05:002012-04-23T20:39:21.521-05:00Thanks for reminding me to celebrate the small vic...Thanks for reminding me to celebrate the small victories...oh how easily they get forgotten!Lisa M.
