That tower looks fantastic.
I use...Yay for Jordan! That tower looks fantastic.<br /><br />I used to work for a before/after school child care center through the YMCA in Manchester. Those kids were some of the most resourceful I've known. I ran the arts & crafts table, and some days we'd have scheduled projects, but my favorites were the days I would lay out a jumble of (usually almost gone) supplies and tell the kids to surprise me. I saw kindergartners making collage pictures of fish, reminiscent of Picasso, that I couldn't even recreate. I saw fifth graders making books out of paper, yarn, and a hole punch. <br /><br />My absolute favorite project, though, was the week we focused on community. We had the kids build a replica downtown Manchester out of assorted boxes in the middle of the gym. All 70 kids were absolute fiends finishing that project. And the BEST part? Their reward was to destroy it all, like Godzilla destroying Tokyo. It was the best week of my career there. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03378060026329574959noreply@blogger.com
