Material Making

Here is what I've been doing other than studying over spring break.  

First thing Monday morning all of this will be turned in for approval.

Vocabulary Enrichment cards 

Amphibians

Just another day

I feel like all I do now a days is work on making materials.

Here is my progress on a set of land and water form Definition stages.  

I showed you all this the other day.

This is the water-coloring I did for the book and the matching cards.

I have put the two halves of the book together and added the definitions.

What to Do on a Snowy Day?

Why Language materials of course.

What I've been up to.

I seem to have been neglecting this space lately.  Here are something that I've been doing lately.

One day last week we spent a day learning some watercolor techniques   Here are my attempts at making land and water forms in watercolors.  

Then for the past month or so I've been working on these geography materials for my future classroom.  

Here are the ones I'm going to be turning in tomorrow.

Origami Boxes

On the last day of class for this year was a day of fun and not lectures.

Mystery Bag

The Mystery Bag is another Sterrognostic activity for the young child.  HERE is a full description of the activity.  The objects are items that can be identified by touch alone.  I've collected them in several locations. The bag itself I made.  I made three actually.

Sorting

This is an activity for children three and a half to four years old.  This activity is designed to be used with a blindfold and refines the stereopnostic sense. HERE is a complete description of how the activity works. I collected the tray and bowls from various locations.  Tray from Home Goods and the bowls from World Market.  The beads used for sorting are three different shapes  but otherwise feel and look the same.  While blindfolded the child sorts these beads into bowls according to their shape.

 

Dusting Cloths

Dusting cloths

what I've been up to

I've put together an activity for children three to three and a half years.

The idea is to teach them how to measure flour with a measuring cup.
