Indian Villages and Pyramids have been showing up at the schools.  |
| |
|  I love the projects they have the kids build. Most of the time, the kids choose Native American village projects from our area because we have birch bark and sticks. But they have to be really creative for the Pyramids. NA villages are for the older elementary and egyption pyramids are for the middle school.
The pyramid materials ranged from play dough to real clay that had been fired to legos and cut squares of styrofoam plain or covered with glue and then covered with sand. Cardboard, cut up pieces of tile or even roofing material was used. That was so neat. Loved subbing Thursday when the kids came in with all that stuff.

| |  There were times I voted a the nieghborhood school and one time they had the cutest castles! One even made from sugar cubes - maybe they treated them with glue!
Some even had toy soldiers, they were so clever!

| | Castles, that sounds really, really cool. Thanks.We have an open art room during voting, too. On the art projects for the entire elementary school are shown that were created in the previous couple of weeks. I love looking at that then, too. Mostly paper, recycled art, and mixed media stuff that can be dispalyed on walls and tables easily. Neat, thanks and take acare. | | | |

| | That depends on the clay. If you want play dough, papier machee dough, river clay, etc. There are many instructions online for the different kinds of clay. Different mediums or types of clay may also be of interest to them.
Veggies, fruits, and animals, that's cool. Thanks and take care. | | | |

| |  Isnt this all so fantastic! Arent you having a fascinating time getting to sub? Are you getting much work yet?
Watching kids and their creativity is amazing as one realizes how much imagination also goes into project and not just what parents and freinds and internet has to offer, right? It returns a little awe into the awesomeness of children.

| | Oh yes, lots and lots of work. I could work 5 days of the week for the school and both days of the weekend for the dog and cat food company. Bet that changes after Christmas. But before the holidays, there are a lot of days avaible to teach.
Yes, love the projects they bring in, really does add wonder to everything. I would have never thought of many of the ways they did the pyramids. Thanks and take care. | | | |

| |  Were you able to get pictures of the school project? I bet it was extremely interesting. Our son-in-law recently accepted a job teaching history at an American Indian College. He will also be in charge of the archives. This is his profession and the job offered them a different location so they will be on the move next month. Am sure this will be a fun and interesting job for him and a new experience for our daughter and their kids.

| | No I didn't bring a camera to school. When you sub, you don't know when something is going to happen and if you have a kid in a picture or adult, even by accident, you have to have them sign a release now. So I don't bring a camera. And it wouldn't be one picture, the pyramids took up every single available space in two classrooms. Window sills, back tables, side bookshelf tops, etc. | | | |

| | Our daughter will keep us informed of her husband's new job. He is very excited about the opportunity. She is even more excited that she doesn't have to work..lol She's been working at a daycare center and taking her kids. They always seem to be sick as a result. | | | |

| | I empathize with always being sick. When I taught Kindergarten as an undergrad, I was always sick. | | | |
