I loved doing this craft with Mrs. Yollis...Gayle,<br /> <br />I loved doing this craft with Mrs. Yollis & the class. I came in to take pictures on a rainy day so the students had their big jackets and scarfs and could get bundled up. The day I took the pictures was perfect day for imagining that they were living in a snow globe. I loved all the stories that they came up with and would love to do another project with them again because they are such an imaginative and witty group of students!<br /><br />I am available to do this or another project with you and all of our kids and anyone else that would like to join in. <br /><br />Warmly,<br />Bettina<br /><br /><br />Bettina (Nicholas' mom)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-39424428706415487742014-12-18T11:21:58.955-08:002014-12-18T11:21:58.955-08:00Hello Mrs. Yollis and Class,
Brilliant! What a wo...Hello Mrs. Yollis and Class,<br /><br />Brilliant! What a wonderful craft idea. I know snow isn't exactly normal for your school area but I'm sure many of you have visited snow-covered areas. For us here in Australia, summer is upon us, people are arriving in my town for their summer vacation and schools have closed for around five weeks but this would be a great idea for the middle of the year when winter comes. I must pass it on to some teachers. :)<br /><br />Ross Mannell<br />Teacher (retired), N.S.W., Australiarmannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325881715643049499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-15288400491894710512014-12-18T09:52:57.508-08:002014-12-18T09:52:57.508-08:00Dear Bettina, Mrs. Yollis, and class,
Those certa...Dear Bettina, Mrs. Yollis, and class,<br /><br />Those certainly are <b>sensational</b> snow globes! I am so glad that I was able to see them in person yesterday!<br /><br />It is such a clever project! I think my favorite part is the poses that you have struck and the expressions on your faces that show you are trapped and very cold, even <b>frigid</b>!<br /><br />Following directions when creating a clever craft such as this one is so important, isn't it? I think one of the most important things about following directions is doing the steps in the proper <b>sequence</b>. I can think of many projects that I have done where this is the case. One example is decorating my Christmas tree. The lights have to be put on first, then the ornaments, and finally the paper garland that I use each year. <br /><br />Another example is the Dala horse ornament that I gave to Mrs. Yollis yesterday. First, I had to cut out two felt horses. Next, I pinned the design template to one felt cut-out. Afterward, I stitched the designs using different colored <b>embroidery</b> thread. Finally, I put the two sides of the horse together, put in the stuffing, stitch the two parts together, and add a loop for hanging it on the tree!<br /><br />I look forward to reading about all the ways that you have followed directions!<br /><br />Happy holidays, everyone!<br />Cheers,<br />Mrs. RanneyMrs. Ranneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569904843028235217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-90654152148735587012014-12-17T17:09:44.549-08:002014-12-17T17:09:44.549-08:00Dear Bettina, Mrs. Yollis and class,
This craft i...Dear Bettina, Mrs. Yollis and class,<br /><br />This craft is SO adorable. Bettina, it was cute when you described it but, its even cuter in the pictures here!!!! How very lucky the students are to have such crafty moms to lead these wonderful projects! Maybe I will have Ty help me try this project with his siblings over the break since the directions are posted. <br /><br />Better yet, Bettina, are you available? <br /><br />Have any of you students been making any crafts at home lately? If so, what types?<br /><br />Happy holidays to all.<br /><br />Artfully yours,<br />Gayle Gayle (Ty's mom)noreply@blogger.com
