Art and Science Displays, weeks 1-3

In the art and science curricula by Catholic Schoolhouse, it is recommended that each tutor create displays for her classroom. We are encouraged to make it reminiscent of a museum display. Of course, each Catholic Schoolhouse group's budget varies, so each group is left to develop ideas of its own. Below are pictures of some of what I put together for art and science weeks 1-3. In general, I try to have books lying on the table that are about the topics we are studying, so parents can come up and read parts of the books aloud with the children.

At first, I thought this a great amount of work that would not be fully appreciated by the children, but this was an erroneous thought, indeed! The children surprise me each week with little facts they have gleaned from the displays. If you have the time and money in your group, it is certainly worth it.
