It’s amazing what you can find on the internet.  First let me say, this wasn’t my idea.  Second, let me say, it turned out quite good.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m not artistically or creatively inclined in the least.  I had to drop the art class I decided to take in high school because I was flunking it.  No, not getting a C flunking, but actually getting an F flunking.

So rather than have the kids bring in a box, my boss decides we should use the giganitc box we have in our storeroom.  After work on that Tuesday, I stayed late to paint the entire box white along with random other pieces of cardboard for the wings and tail.

On Wednesday I dragged the box upstairs (yay for elevators!) and got all sorts of questions from the kids.  It’s a good thing we had library time right after arts & crafts because we certainly needed the time.

I’ll leave the blow by blow description of how to make this thing to the folk at the Family Fun website.  I’ll leave you with the pictures, including a bonus one with my face in it.

Today, we went to Daejeon World Cup Stadium for a field trip.  We went to the children’s center there.  What an awesome place to go if you’re a kid.  There are different themed sections including one about different countries, one that’s a small city and one all about science.  Our students had a lot of fun.  Everything was very hands on.  We spent a couple of hours there and didn’t get to experience everything.  I can imagine kids spending the whole day there.

Oh why didn’t we have places like this when I was little??

Spring Class’ theme for the month is around the world.  Today, in arts & crafts, we made stained glass windows.  As far as arts & crafts go, this is easy.  All you need is crayons, paper, baby oil and cotton.  Use a dark crayon to make random loops and scribbles all over the paper.  Keep them rather large unless you want to be coloring forever.  Use bright colors to color in the shapes.  When you’re finished coloring, turn the paper over.  Dip the cotton in the baby oil and spread it over the paper.  You’ll be able to see the colors coming through.  Then cut out your design.  Punch a hole in it and use some string for a hanger.  Hang it in a sunny window.

We made wave bottles in Spring’s science class.  The kids had a lot of fun doing so.  We talked about what we saw when we moved the bottles back and forth.  And we also talked about why the oild and water didn’t mix.

Actually I don’t have to deal with too much LOL Speak.  I deal mostly with your common everyday errors.
