Coldplay puppet show!

I can't get enough of this video so funny - just watch and enjoy!

Return, to a lot of things

Well, - that was a long break form the computer.  I think I went into deep hibernation and hopefully I will now emerge from the crisp new earth ready to flower again and show you all new things.

I am also back fresh from my training at The Fiber Craft Studio (click here or see below)

http://www.threefold.org/fiber_craft_studio/applied_arts_program.aspx

This is located on the Sunbridge College campus but is now under the umbrella of the 

Threefold Educational Center community 260 Hungry Hollow Road Chestnut Ridge, NY 10977.

I highly recommend this program to anybody who is teaching Handworks, aspiring to & also for personal growth.  I can't speak enough about how much this program is enriching my life.

Here we are looking at out 4 legged animals that we did using the pattern with a spine (a wakeful project for the 3/4th grader)

Here are 2 puppets we returned with this Spring as homework.  She is having quite a cute dialogue with the two of them.

I am also taken with the beauty of the campus and simple things like their doors.

I am giving a small talk tonight at out Parent Study night about Handworks and why we teach different subjects at different grades, it should be fun. 

Waldorf Puppet show & Blackboard drawings

Here are a few more photos from the puppet show.  It was dark inside so the photos are blurry.

Here is a shot of 2/3rd grade watercolor painting.  I don't know (other than the obvious Halloween implications) what story was told while they painted.

We also have some very talented black board teacher drawings - first set is from the 4/5th grade teacher and the story of Indra slaying the dragon. (He had a third (of four) panels but I didn't get a photo of that one!)

This last one is from the 1st grade blackboard.

More Happy Halloween

My new photo at the top has been dubbed by my husband as the "creepy guy"  I thought of him as a sweet gnome - but now I see his point... hence the music - (Changed the music to more appropriate music for the rest of the post - it was the theme music to Halloween!).  

By the way what do you think of music on blogs??

Sometimes I like it sometimes I don't.

This morning started out beautifully.  My son was invited up to the barn for an all Kindergarten Halloween party.  Said good morning to the cows & had a hay ride through the "wishes" of milkweed seeds.

Then a walk through the "ghost" woods to see Mother Nature.   She gave them each a flower bulb to plant for Spring. (So sweet!)

We then walked back and had a really cute craft of gods eyes.  Its a chestnut poked with 6 toothpicks and then you wind wool yarn around each pick.  If you change yarn colors they really get colorful.

Snacks of popcorn and cider they were ready to walk into the barn for a beautiful puppet show. All was well and the weather was perfect (50+ and sunny). 

I hope that you had/have a great Halloween as well. 

Best wishes everybody and Happy Halloween!!
