If we were making one for "sale," I think I'd use acrylic paint.<br /><br />@Saya . . . I like the venting!<br /><br />@Judy . . . Now that you mention it, it does seem like a Bev Boz idea, but bummer, it doesn't seem to be on her site any more. In fact, it's a little sad in that they only seem to have 3 non-book/CD items in her whole store.

They are my sentiment exactly. I was one of those who are good at taking tests, but I always said "I wish I was GREAT at just one thing, not alright at everything. I wish I wasn't 'book smart'". Almost every time, this type of comments upset my parents and teachers.<br /><br />I used to teach Florida VPK program, where we as a preschool teachers get evaluated based on how well we prepared those 4 year olds for kindergarten. I always had this uncomfortable feeling about it. I know that some participant schools for VPK did almost what kindergarten would do. Oh those poor children...<br /><br />Now I live in Alaska, still "fenced in" at my new place of employ - granted, there are no evaluation system set for us, but still, pressures from people surrounding us are not small. <br />I am frustrated and I don't know what to do but to speak up my mind to my bosses, knowing it probably won't change much of what it is.<br /><br />Maybe I need to start own place to learn with children :) <br /><br />Sorry kinda venting session as a comment lolSayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696043555939052042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-74717193609235352512010-08-21T15:28:43.752-07:002010-08-21T15:28:43.752-07:00I love your nameless spinny barrel thingy too Tom....I love your nameless spinny barrel thingy too Tom. I'd far rather see a preschool full of things like the spinny barrel thingy than generic catalogue equipment and resources.Let the Children Playhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121823006891382199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-89211478541568721182010-08-21T09:12:10.138-07:002010-08-21T09:12:10.138-07:00I'll bet all those colored lines combine to ma...I'll bet all those colored lines combine to make a really great piece of art - like the individuals in the classroom combine to make a great community.

Sometimes we call it spin painting, but to me that's a flat spinning device. Sometimes we call it drum painting. I'm sure all the classes at my preschool have different names for it.Barbara Zaborowskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-15632622817882243482010-08-21T07:30:41.753-07:002010-08-21T07:30:41.753-07:00That is too cool!That is too cool!Deborahhttp://www.deborahjstewart.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
