Joy School Projects

For those of you who don't know what a joy school is: A joy school is a preschool where the moms take turns teaching. This week was my week. I found these little tote bags for one dollar at Michael's and I thought it would be really cute to have them bring them to school each week so they have something to carry their papers and things home in.

I just realized that I spelled this little girls name wrong... it is an 'i' instead of a 'y'. I will have to fix that. :)

Our lesson was on the earth. So I showed them a picture of the earth and explained about land and water. We talked about different things that live on land and in water. So I made them these birds. I forgot how much fun plastic canvas is. It is easy and quick. I wouldn't decorate my house with plastic canvas stuff... but it is cute for kids.

Here is the underside.These birds are fun because you can squeeze the sides of their mouth and they open. My mom used to make these type of things and put a Hershey kiss in its mouth.
We decided to do a letter of the day. My mom had these cute patterns for magnets. Also plastic canvas. They are fun and the kids liked the.

I also painted these pots for them. We planted bulbs in there and hopefully they will grow.
All and all it was a good day. The kids didn't have a huge attention span for the lesson, but they enjoyed playing games and planting their plants. :)
