This project taught K3-K5 students to use line, creative re-cycling, and gluing skills.
These projects will be fitted with magnets and sold at our school Auction to benefit the school.
I got this idea from a local Art conference that I recently attended. One local public school had received a rather large grant to make these houses to sell to "benefit Haiti."
To me this whole grant idea sounded extremely dishonest as the materials are glue, used cardboard, magnets and envirotex. (We are making the houses but without the grants.)
In a private school teachers pay hefty taxes as well, yet our schools don't receive the extremely heavy funding that public schools receive. Now is the perfect time to be creative with fundraising!
For the teachers at our school it is not only about the money we love our jobs!
So this project will be sold at our school auction and it is a wonderful way to help build confidence in students! I am not a parent but if I were I would buy this in a heart beat. Let's hope the sale goes well!
Love these, they are adorable.
