_____ By the Sea, (Gr. K-2), Eden Balbuena Adams (Fremont
Unified)
Enhance your Open Court unit,
your Science, or other Language Arts curriculum with fun, hands-on-activities
that highlight ocean or sea life.
Watch your students engage themselves in child-friendly
activities, that
are “Bulletin Board – display or show” quality, and listen and watch Moms,
Dads, and Grandparents Ohh and Ahh over their child’s work. You will go home with finished
products
and instructions to make a sea urchin, a colorful fish, a hermit crab and a
jelly fish. So lets go “By The
Sea!”
_____ Beyond Questions and Answers, (Gr. 3 +), Petra
Esber & Jill Bohn (Brooktree Elementary, Berryessa Union SD)
Participants will create
alternative responses to literature such as dioramas, dolls, floats and
more. We’ll be using paper,
cardboard, fabric, wood and a whole lot of other creative materials.
_____ Be a Dream Traveler (Gr. 4+), Andrew Derrick
(Brooktree Elementary, Berryessa Union SD)
Tying in Cara Johnson’s
series the Dream Travelers we will be making Dream Journals, so we will be able
to focus and analyze our dreams as well as making Dream Scapes. Dream Scapes are a creative
and
artistic representation of what you want your dreams to become or what they
have been. We will also be talking
about an easy guide to analyzing dreams, reiterating the importance of sleep
and how restorative it is to our minds and bodies.
_____ Puppet Making (Gr. 3-6), Nancy Ringsted, (Los Gatos
SD)
Come discover the fun on
designing costumes for a puppet of your choice. You will start with a
basic head and then learn how to make hair and costumes for a puppet you create
to take back to your classroom. Learn how to "fracture" &
"modernize" Fairy Tales and movies into puppet scripts. Third grade
through 6th graders can make this advanced type of puppet using styrofoam
balls, ridge wrap, paints, and materials for costumes. All you need is
your imagination.
