Tools for Thought

This is a photo of a model bulletin board that I created.
Title:  Over the Reading Rainbow


The students handcrafted the flowers and the assignment description is as follows:
The students would be given a choice of two topics: 1) At the end of my rainbow….  and 2) My favorite color of the rainbow is…  After completing the assignment the student will be given a foam flower-shaped door hanger and a piece of construction paper on which he or she will glue their paragraph and his or her picture taken by the teacher.  The student will also be given a piece of green pipe cleaner to make the stem and leaf to complete the flower.







These are some finger puppets that I handmade to go along with the adapted nursery rhyme 
"Baa Baa Black sheep".

Description:
This finger/hand puppet was really fun to make.  It took a lot of time because of the sewing that was done, but I’m sure that hot glue would have worked well too.  I am not a huge fan of the glue because it makes such a mess. The materials used to make the were various colors of felt, wiggly eyes, needles, thread, a glove, hot glue, scissors, choice of fabric, and a sewing machine.  No pattern was used for this project. The puppets were made by drawing them on the felt and cutting them out.
