When Friday comes around at the International Charter School, all of our after school students know what that means – craft time! Instead of following the usual weekly homework and reading schedule, students get to have a hands-on project that they can take home and show off to their family. In commemoration of the autumnal season, we recently made ears of corn using fall-colored tissue paper. Students first arranged a sticky corn template and then scrunched tiny pieces of tissue paper to make the kernels.
A kindergartener in the English-Portuguese strand brings her corn to life!
Below is the finished product, and with a quick loop at the top the kids are ready to hang their creation in their rooms, on their backpacks, or wherever they please. The students really seemed to enjoy this project, and it was a good way to channel the patience and creativity for a K-3 age group. I’m looking forward to doing more fall crafts at ICS!
