We are excited to share some pictures of our Class Project in progress. Last week, we explained to kids that we would be creating a “decoration” for a party the grownups would be having soon. (We didn’t tell them that one family would ultimately take it home, but focused on the idea that we would all make it together, and all the parents would see it.)
We have been using glue sticks often throughout the year, and recently had collage items out at a table. Teachers explained that we would be using some glass pieces for the collage. A teacher showed the supplies at a group time, including some gloves kids could wear to protect their hands. We explained that the glass was not very sharp, but if they wanted the gloves they would be available. Most kids wanted to try them, but many found it difficult to pick up the small pieces while wearing them, so opted to be “extra careful” with the glass. Kids signed up for turns, and worked two at a time, with a teacher nearby. Over a couple days, every kid who was here last week was offered a chance to work on the project. As each child added to the design, it was fun to see how beautifully their ideas meshed. It’s now ready to send to the Glass Collective to be made into a platter.
