Ben was on a roll with art tonight. First of all, he had Maggie go outside with him and they collected things from the garden to make a collage. They glued their treasures onto card and left them in the sun to dry. This is something that they had done at adventure club earlier in the week and obviously was a hit for the kids to do.
Later on, Maggie & I were subjected to art class which started promptly at 8 pm and was to last for exactly 30 minutes. Apparently, this is a weekly event that will continue for 6 weeks. Last night, we made snowmen. Ben had us cut out 3 circles and then draw a face on the first one. We had to cut out a nose made of orange paper & stick it on the face. Then we drew buttons on the 2nd circle and we made twig arms out of brown paper. Finally, we decorated the 3rd circle and Ben assembled the finished project for us. He's really got the teaching routine down, he can get everyone organized and knows exactly what his plans are. Maggie sat and watched him with a "I can't believe I'm doing this" sneer on her face, but she was a good sport about the whole thing. Finally, Ben taped the finished product to his bedroom door, he's running out of room!!!!
