I was asked to teach two classes to 5 - 7 years olds at WAM this coming Thursday. A morning class making a bestiary, a Book of Beasts and an afternoon class called Crowns, Sceptres, and Capes. Against my better judgement, I said yes. (The last time I taught children's classes in December, I was sick for two months 😺)
So I am printing, cutting, punching, and assembling materials to make the books and crowns. Fortunately, the lesson plan is only a guideline, and I don't have to teach/make/do everything. I think this age group will have enough to do drawing and coloring 6 pages, the cover, and making the book as well as cutting out crowns, gems, and decorating the crowns.
Children who finish the projects quickly will free draw castles or free draw.
Also a shout out to people who upload free craft activities for children so I don't have to reinvent the wheel.
Whatcha doin?
Bring a bottle of hand sanitizer with you so you don't get sick. Smile. And other than that these classes sound fun. I had nothing this week except getting together with my daughter last evening, so it's all about yard work for me. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteGood idea. A little chilly but a nice day for yardwork
DeleteTake some zinc before you meet with the little germsicles!
ReplyDeleteAnother good idea.
DeleteHave fun.

It should be. The age group is fun to work with
DeleteHave fun, but hope you stay healthy this time! Valerie
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed. I figure if I can get past Sunday, I should be okay
DeleteI'm sure you will have fun :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I will. This is a fun age group to work with
DeleteI hope you don't get sick again. Like Erika said, take hand sanitizer and maybe wear a mask. Just try to be safe, dear.
ReplyDeleteWill do.
DeleteHave fun and be patient, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun age group to teach.
DeleteBoth classes sound like fun topics.
ReplyDeleteThey were fun. Loud, exhausting, but fun
DeleteZoo yesterday, grocery today, storms tomorrow. Do you and the kids wear masks during classes?
ReplyDeletePeople aren't really wearing masks here anymore. I was masked and using hand sanitizer has if I was Lady MacBeth trying to wash the blood stains from my hands.
