I homeschool, we've tried different schools (here in Indiana) that haven't been for us. Your school is a school I'd send my children to. Hats off to you for doing what you do. My sister lives in Seattle and I am going to be there for a month in the spring. I hope to come visit your inspirational school at that time. I love the activities you do with the kids.

This would make wonderful place mats for all :)<br />Seasons greetings! <br /><br />Regards,<br />ShaliniShalini Mukherjeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-76164783231528782952011-11-21T18:54:53.597-08:002011-11-21T18:54:53.597-08:00I like this idea for tearing fabric, and will have...I like this idea for tearing fabric, and will have to try it. I'm sure this would be very satisfying for my 2 year olds.<br />Do you get any snow, or mainly rain?<br />It's great that you and your parents have a healthy attitude to the cold outdoors!<br />BrendaMullin Avenue Workshophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489785153205822301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-61776253716908368102011-11-21T15:31:59.406-08:002011-11-21T15:31:59.406-08:00I discovered this last year when I was wandering a...I discovered this last year when I was wandering around a Goodwill Store looking for ideas. I got some sheets for a dollar each. We tore them up in a fashion similar to yours, for no other reason than tearing fabric is such great fun. Then, just in case a parent asked why, we wove them through the wire fence, where, I must admit, they looked very nice. When we were done, we had a tub full of ribbons which we could have kept, but didn't. Why deprive this year's class of the fun of tearing their own?Barbara Zaborowskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-10647274382087187172011-11-21T14:43:04.738-08:002011-11-21T14:43:04.738-08:00Lovely blog post.

Interestingly I've just changed the routine I had with one class owing to the changing weather and the need to keep moving around. They all buddy with a Grade 6 child and the pairs work well for being active.Juliet Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035975039896986525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-87818697637627678522011-11-21T06:27:05.457-08:002011-11-21T06:27:05.457-08:00Ha Ha!

They have no concept of the cold...especially when they're having a great time!Centers and Circle Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790847722834866885noreply@blogger.com
