Creativity is

Creativity is self expression and thinking of new ways to do things.

We caught a glimpse of some at-at lunch clean-up bins we provide to our partnering campuses. In them were partially made creations that remind us of the open spirit our art at lunch program provides. It’s a place were kids can express themselves, explore their ideas and add a dash of play.

Most of the unfinished projects were made of paper which goes to show, kids just need a few simple materials to tap into their vast imaginings.

That’s exactly what we like to see.

Hats Off!

Since schools are going back to the drawing board to figure out the 2020/2021 school year, we are inspired to go way back to some amazing hands-on learning fun from 1971!
Check out this “Off the top of your head” prompt card that invites students to make hats from recycled materials as a way to learn about  shapes and contribute to their spatial reasoning.
Now that’s what we call learning fun.

This is a Houghton Mifflin Company classic!

Be Curious

Happy 50th Earth Day and Earth Week!

While kids are safer-at-home and learning virtually it’s a great time to wonder and explore where the materials we use in our daily lives come from. Use Google to help you discover origins for the things you have at home. Everything comes from the earth somehow, someway.
