Educational Philosophy

Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself.

~ John Dewey

Our simple educational philosphy: we learn as we live and we celebrate what we learn!

Unplugged -- Insect

This weeks unplugyourkids theme was insects. The girls are teaching a collage class for elementary students later this month so we thought we'd try collaging some insects -- here are two samples of the collages that the girls will use when they teach.





And here are some other samples they'll use.





P.S. We were able to use some of the materials from the Free Time Kit that we got from Shawn in one of her giveaways. By the way, the kit was awesome!

  2. We really wish we had a resource around here like you do -- the items in the package were great. We contemplated using them all to make a 3D person. We still may do that with what is left. Thanks again! We're thinking about what type of give away to offer since we have been the beneficiary of yours. Keep visiting and tell your friends about us! C

  8. Beautiful collages! I like the second one too. Reminds me of the Leo Lionni books that we love. Also can recycle junk mail this way!

  9. Thanks for reminding us of Leo Leonni. The girls can add him to the list of authors they will show the kids when they teach collage later this month. They'll also use the books by Eric Carle and Bill Martin's Chica Chica Boom Boom.
