Alternative Curriculum Week is over!
And it was fun, but tiring. I tend to take on a lot, then wonder why I do that . . . getting ready for the macrame was a full day's work in itself -- handouts with the knots/illustrations, then 'knotting stations' around the room with posters and ropes for them to practise their knots before starting projects, then of course helping each of them do whatever project they dreamed up. Very, very busy day. Ditto the jewellery making, except I had fewer girls (it was a more expensive course, so probably to be expected).
So yes, I taught two all-day classes: jewellery making, and macrame. Just finished printing out photos of each one of the girls doing their creations (brought my digital camera, of course, to save the memories), which they can pick up tomorrow in my room. In addition to the bracelets, owls, hat-bands, belts, and what-not, they'll have a glossy photo themselves to keep.
