I have been teaching a week-long class at a summer program for middle-schoolers this month, and have one more week to go with this program. The class is all about getting kids engaged with nature and the outdoors, rather than always looking at a screen. It is geared toward ideas for outdoor play if one is babysitting or goes into the career path of early childhood education (or eventually being a parent who wants their child to benefit from outdoor play). The class is organized around the topic of fairy houses and we had a great week creating fairies and accessories, doing some other fun projects, and finally today building a Fairy Village in the classroom (because of the circumstances, we can't really take the class outdoors - ironic, I know!). The ultimate experience of fairy houses can be found at fairyhouses.com but here are some pics of our crafts, and the fairy village we built in my class. I want to thank each and every one of my students for being a part of our class. You all had so much creativity and imagination abounding! So much fun, and I can't wait to do it again!
