Art: Inspired by Navajo Sand Painting. Wow! What a week! Sand in every corner, glue on every finger, and eyes intent on art! The sand art project suggested by Catholic Schoolhouse this week was quite the success. Things went more smoothly than I expected, and the children enjoyed the project more than I hoped. My little perfectionists were begging to take glue and sand home with them. What a joy!
Science: Zoology continued. Science was less successful. The 3D Ocean Bingo I had planned from the Catholic Schoolhouse curriculum unfortunately does not work as is for a large, mixed group of children. In retrospect, I should have sent the color pages home the week before to be colored and then brought back this week to be cut out and constructed. This would have allowed time to play bingo, too! Now we know for next time at least. The children did still enjoy coloring the various creatures of the deep, however, so it was not a useless day in science.
