Yarn!

Spotlighting yarn this month we wanted to know how yarn is made? We found a cool link on Made How http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Yarn.html where we got the scoop about how wool, silk, cotton, polyester and other fibers become yarn. It’s all In the twist!

It’s All In How You See it.

Cardboard is probably one of the highest produced recyclable materials that comes to school campuses in the form of delivery boxes. We see these boxes anoither way, as saw materials to use in a number of creative ways. Cardboard letters and initials are perfect for student learning and artistic ownership. Try using your cardboard scraps in this fun way. You’ll be glad you did.

Wise

We had a great time with Daisy Troop 61024 who came to work on the Girl Scout creed-using their resources wisely. They brought along empty Kleenex boxes that we converted into houses. This house has all the fixin’s including a tiny Styrofoam puppy who lives there. Who needs flashy stuff when the imaginings you have come to life with the simplest of things.
