Crafts and Activities

Filed under: Early Language Learners — Starr @ 06:40 AM
Does anyone know why feltboards are so expensive? I am amazed at the prices. If you want a feltboard for cheap, go and buy some adhesive-backed felt blocks for a few bucks each and stick them on some wood or cardboard (or directly on the wall). For a portable felt kit, get a shoebox and put one of the adhesive blocks on the lid. You can keep the felt shapes in the box.

Culture Capsules in the News

Filed under: Early Language Learners — Starr @ 10:04 PM
The Culture Capsules project has been underway for a few months now. The Serbian class that we have been exchanging with (a project for my art class) posted about receiving our capsule here.
The Decatur Daily also came to interview my class about the project. You can read the newspaper article here.
My daughter's Spanish-speaking preschool class is even in on the action now, exchanging drawings with a class in Spain.
