For the past several Fridays the students have been participating in what we like to call "clubs." Each teacher hosts a club with a new hobby, activity, theme, or topic. Clubs this year have included giving, ballet, board games, animal lovers, journal-making, altered books, and more. These afternoons are a great opportunity for the students to try something new and spend time with a group of kids of different ages with similar interests.
This Friday our clubs included print-making with Ms. Howle, card games with Ms. Parks, and recycled art with Ms. Flynn. Ms. Howle and Ms. Flynn's groups went on a nature walk to collect things for their projects. Ms. Howle's group found natural artifacts such as leaves, pine cones, and flowers to use as stamps. Ms. Flynn's group collected recyclable litter on the college campus to turn into artistic sculptures.
