It was fun, if a bit manic. There were only 4 or 5 kids working at a time, but that meant sharing the glue, sharing, the fabric paints, dumping the sequins on the floor, trying to get my help and attention, me using my sewing machine up until the point where it stopped working due to all the glue stuck in it, and DS2 trying to sit on my lap, because he didn't have school and I had to bring him along.
They came up with some fun stuff. A couple of them made flags, one made a napkin (with sequins glued on it. ouch.), others just did some fun decorating, etc etc. Kids are just so creative and fun. I just gave them stuff and they went and did it however they felt like it. I love blank canvas sorts of crafts. Maybe I'll take the rest of the fabric to DS2's school, since they're doing their St P's day stuff on Monday. They had teacher conferences Friday instead.
Unfortunately, not all were dry enough to take home at the end of the day, so some didn't have their thing for the actual St P's day today.
It took me about 15 minutes with a scrubber sponge to get the glue and fabric paint off the table. A good time was had by all!
Teacher conferences: DS2 is progressing, but he's much more interested in hanging out with his friends and he's not moving forward with stuff. The teacher is wondering if he has a slight hearing problem, because he doesn't hear or see the difference between p and b and between m and n.
DS1's teacher conference coming up this week, but we already have the assessment forms. He's progressing academically, but he'd go a lot faster if he weren't gaxing into the middle distance all day. He got "needs work" on most of the social and self-motivation things, but meets expectations or exceeds on the actual academic stuff.
