In 2003, I made a career leap by changing school districts. I had been in a comfortable position, with eight years teaching middle school social studies in a wealthy suburban school. However, I needed a change. I did not want to teach in a single classroom, in one building, investigating a particular topic for thirty-four […]

This is a printed duplicate of a watercolor painting featuring the quote, "You are a marigold," accompanied by a vibrant marigold flower. To personalize an 8x10 in. print with a name hand-lettered at the top, visit this listing: https://etsy.me/3i3053u *5x7 in. cards cannot be personalized. *Frame not included.* This would make a great gift for a teacher, as it represents "The Marigold Effect." Many experienced gardeners follow a concept called companion planting: placing certain vegetables and plants near each other to improve growth for one or both plants. For example, rose growers plant garlic near their roses because it repels bugs and prevents fungal diseases. Among companion plants, the marigold is one of the best: It protects a wide variety of plants from pests and harmful weeds. If you plant a marigold beside most any garden vegetable, that vegetable will grow big and strong and healthy, protected and encouraged by its marigold. Marigolds exist in our schools as well – encouraging, supporting and nurturing growing teachers on their way to maturity. If you can find at least one marigold in your school and stay close to them, you will grow. Find more than one and you will positively thrive. DETAILS: The art is printed on premium 14-pt uncoated paper. SIZES: - 8x10 inch print (Writing is in black.) - 5x7 in. (pack of 5 prints) - Five prints that are one-sided with a blank white back that would be cute framed, great greeting cards or an adorable gift! (Writing is in gold/brown.) SHIPPING: Your print or cards will be shipped in a cello clear sealed envelope with sturdy chipboard inside a bubble envelope to arrive in great condition. I'd be happy to hear from you to answer any questions. Enjoy!
With the festivals around the corner learn to make your own Marigold flowers using tissue paper to decorate your home with a DIY marigold garland. You can use these paper marigold flowers as such for decorating your Pooja space or make it as garland to decorate your mandir. This is so simple and let us learn how. Read through the end to learn how marigold flowers are used for a different purpose in Mexico. Materials Used: Tissue paper in orange and yellow Pipe cleaners Scissors Ribbon Glue gun & Glue sticks Green tissue paper(Optional) Step 1: Take six sheets of tissue paper measuring 4" in width and 6" in height. Step 2: Fold it in accordion style and secure it with a pipe cleaner at the center.(2" mark) Step 3: Hold it at the center. Fan it out and pull one sheet at a time towards the center on both the sides until you run out of paper. Your marigold flower is done. It is as simple as that. Make them big as a statement for your decor or go small and make many marigolds to string it as a garland. To make it as a garland, you can take a long needle and string and string it one after the other. Since I couldn't make many flowers I decided to glue them on to a ribbon. To do this, take a ribbon and add a dollop of glue at the back of each flower and glue it to the ribbon. Repeat it until you get the desired length. After making the garland I left like adding a bit of green would make the garland pop. Do you feel the same? Then take a green tissue paper and fold it several times until you get a small square. Draw a leaf shape and cut it using scissors. You will end up with a lot of green leaves. Glue a bunch of leaves to a piece of green tissue paper and add that to the end of the garland. This step is totally optional but I love that green leaves at the end of the garland. Do you like it? To give you an idea, I have used it to style it as a backdrop for Ganesh Chaturthi. You could also use it during Navaratri or try making them in other colors for a birthday decor. Options are endless on how you can use them in your decor. Did you check the making video of this clay Ganesha on my Instagram page? Follow me there so you don't miss the behind the scenes ;) Try using two contrasting color tissue paper to get this double color tissue paper flowers. Aren't they pretty? If you are making these tissue paper flowers, how will you use these them? Share with me in the comments below. I came up with this idea of making Marigold flowers when I was working on a post for the Day of the dead - a Mexican holiday where family and friends gather to celebrate the loved one who has died. Marigold flowers play the main role in the day of the dead celebration. Head over to Kids activities blog to check how I made marigold flowers three different ways and how I decorated it for Día de los Muertos. Which of the three looks more realistic?

Making paper marigolds is a wonderful way to bring a hands on activity to your classroom during El Día de los Muertos, something your students will surely remember! Over the years, I have found being prepared ahead of time, and going step by step, using kid friendly instructions, makes all the difference, especially when class only lasts a short time (in my case, I have kiddos for 30 minute classes). Here is what it looks like in my room: The Prep: I usually do this project with my Second Graders and since my classes are short, I like to have some steps done ahead of time to be sure we can get the flowers done in one shot. First, I cut green pipe cleaners in half. I also create name tags, put their names on them, punch a hole in each one, and attach a pipe cleaner to each one. Next, I take four sheets of tissue paper (I buy it already cut into squares) and make the first fold- folding the square in half. In class: Since I have three colors of tissue paper, I call each kiddo up and have them choose which they would like (using manners vocab of course!) I also give them their stem at this time. Once every kiddo has their tissue paper and stem, we begin the construction process. Here are two scripts, one in English (for those who aren't teaching Spanish) and one in Spanish, great for those shooting for 90%. Projects like this one really lend themselves to using the target language, as long as you go step by step. Note the Spanish is much simpler and more direct than the English, making it perfect for novice learners. Don't forget to demonstrate each step as you give the instructions. -"Holding the rectangle like a taco, open part up, fold the rectangle in half. Now we have a square." -"Okis, tenemos un taco. Vamos a doblarlo por la mitad, así' -"Now we are going to make a pizza slice. Put your scissors in the hand you cut with, and hold the square at the bottom, folded point." (I usually go around to every kiddo to be sure they are holding the right point. Otherwise, there is always at least one flower that ends up being cut in the wrong place and when unfolded, is no longer able to become a flower.) -"Vamos a hacer una porción (trozo, rebanada) de pizza." -"Now we are going to cut from one corner to the other in a curve. This will make our pizza slice shape." (I demonstrate before they cut so they can see how it should go. I then walk around and monitor the cutting to be sure they are cutting between the right corners.) -"Corta el papel de una esquina a la otra así." -"Now we are going to cut the fringe to make the petals. We are going to cut straight down, not the whole way, along the crust of the pizza slice." (Again, I demonstrate) -"Ahorita, vamos a hacer los pétalos, cortando así." -"Now we are going to put the scissors down because we won't need them anymore. Gently unfold the pizza back into the taco shape." (The key word here is gently! I demonstrate this) -"Guardar las tijeras. Con cuidado, desdoblar las hojas de papel (las capas) así." -"Now we will unfold the taco into a tortilla. Let's do this gently." (Some kiddos have difficulty with this step, so I go around and help) -"Desdoblarlas una vez más." -'Now we will need to insert the stem. Take one sheet at a time and poke the stem through the middle. If we do all four sheets at once, we will increase the chance of ripping the paper, so let's go with just one sheet at a time." (Again, I help with this as necessary) -"Vamos a pasar el tallo por el centro de cada una de las hojas de papel (las capas), una a la vez, así." -'Now that all four sheets are on the stem, we need to fold over the top of the stem so the paper stays on the stem." (I demonstrate and help as necessary) -"Hacerle un doblez al tallo en la punta, así." -"Right now we have a parasol, but we need a fluffy flower. We are going to scrunch each sheet of paper toward the middle to make it a poofy flower. Be gentle and don't pull the sheets off the stem :) (Again, I go around and help. There is always at least one that comes off the stem lol. Usually it is an easy fix to put it back on the stem. If it is completely ruined, I always have a few in reserve.) -"Vamos a arrugar las hojas de papel (las capas) para realizar la maravilla, una hoja a la vez, así." -"Now look at your flower and smile :)" -"¡Y ya!" I like to use the flowers to decorate my door and give them back after El Día de los Muertos is over. They make quite an impression! Have fun and enjoy making your own!

“Day of the Dead” is a traditional Mexican holiday for honoring ancestors and loved ones who have died, and is celebrated each year on November 1st & 2nd. This festive, family-centered holiday celebrates the cycle of life and highlights the Mexican peoples’ general acceptance, rather than fear, of death. Colorful marigolds are a regular feature...

If your kids are peacock lovers like we are, you will love this pretty and fun painting project. Blow painting is wonderful for preschoolers.
The kids decided to investgate dinosaurs next. I set out a couple areas for them to explore while we finished up our clay inquiry. I created an area for them to dig for fossils. During Thinking, Learning and Discovering Time they started exploring. They wanted to identify some of the fossils and dinosaurs that were set out. Because of their love for art, I set up the painting area for them to use art to show what they noticed about dinosaurs and their skeletons. I also set up an area for them to look closer and create observational drawings using art tools and watercolors. Here is an area for them to look closer and create dinosaurs through clay. Even our engineering and math tools were being used to create dinosaurs! The kids leisurely explored the areas and started talking about creating a dinosaur museum in our dramatic play area. As the discussion about this grew, we realized the dramatic play area was too small. Some started talking about using other areas. After listening to their conversations, I presented an idea to them. Would they be interested in making our whole room into a dinosaur museum? They were very excited about this! I posed another question to them. What if we became experts and invited other classes into our dinosaur museum to learn all about dinosaurs? Wow! The excitement and motivation blew me away! A project was born! All of the sudden, the interst in learning everything they could about dinosaurs took on a whole new level! Their explorations were no longer leisurely! It was amazing how much more driven they were to learn once they had a purpose for it! Stay tuned to find out how we will turn our room into a dinosaur museum!
