Today we made another fun jungle craft for Spring school: Ssssssssnakes! The first step of this craft is to paint a regular paper plate yellow. How does a simple white plate turn into a snake you ask? Well here’s how we did it! Simply use any ol’pair of scissors and cut a spiral patturn in the paper plate.

Inside the board, there are small pieces of magnets that have been glued inside. Next, they glue their painted sticks onto the board in a “#” formation. While they are waiting for everything to glue, they create their “X” and “O” pieces to small magnets.…

Apart of our summer school we have some of our older kids work on independent projects. Here, one of our students worked on presenting silly laws around the world! No matter what country you are in, the legal system is undoubtably a labyrinth of judicual jargon that all citizens must abide by. However, they are some laws that are simply out of date or down right silly! Even after researching many silly laws from all different places, he drew and painted a wonderful representation of the world! What a great project idea! Good job, Souta!
