Indian Vest
Today was an adventurous day. I don’t know if you have figured out or not , but I CRINGE when it comes time to do teacher directed crafts. Today we made indian vest to go with our headdresses and next week will will string colored macaroni for necklaces. Teacher directed crafts may look a little prettier than the normal art pieces you get home that are random pieces of things stuck together with a HUGE amount of glue and then painted.. but they are a real time sucker for me. The children did work on the vest in small groups today but it took 2 and a half hours to get them all completed. By the time everyone has had a turn, I think of the many interactions I missed and stories I could have been reading. Oh well….. sometimes we just have to. 🙂
Normally I do use the term " Native American " I have used that a LOT this month with the children. My great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee Indian.. and that is how she would have said it. Obviously, I have offended the anonymous poster… I apologize.
Hey Ms Debbie. I love the pictures. Looks like they had a blast.. I like the idea of using the bulletin board border instead of construction paper, too! Can't wait to see them..
I like the bulletin board paper too. I've used sentence strips before (turned so the plain side is visible).
Love the idea of the border!! We have always used the construction paper or I will tape together the oak tag paper… never good. Great Idea!! We will use it this week!! Thanks so much!!
