I love all the ideas, especially creating a wire sculpture tree forest, even if on a smaller scale. I often put out rocks & stones of different sizes and tree cookies for the children to stack, balance or design with. I think the ceramic garden could be done using fun foam flowers and dowels. The children could measure out a square patch inside the outdoor garden and create the same thing and give instructions for the children to measure different lengths of dowels to create different heights of flowers.
Fabulous fun!
I love the idea of creating a garden without plants and flowers, I feel like this would open up so many interesting ideas for the students. If you could have your own garden made out of anything, what would it be? The ceramic garden video was beautiful, what a lovely and different idea. I would love to have my students perhaps create flowers out of model magic and create an indoor garden. This would tie in so nicely with the butterfly and insect unit we do in the spring.
Love that you are thinking outside of the box. So many possibilities and connections!
yep Heather I agree with the snow sculpting, our kids love to collect the ice pieces and enjoy building with snow. It is not always a snowman. We have made snow cats and dogs and other various animals. We enjoy using lengths of yarn to measure things for more or less than activities.
I love the idea of making rock sculptures. I’m even thinking about how much fun it would be to turn that area into a snow measuring area in the winter! I think that for my class, we would need to keep a “measuring kit” inside. Then we could bring it out to measure our creations. The measuring tools could include rulers, scales, string, cubes and more!
My students could also write about their creations and include how many/much of each item they used to create their sculpture. They could also write about what they found when they used more or less. Perhaps the sculpture got too big and fell over, or maybe without enough stones or snow, it wouldn’t stand tall enough!
I love how you are adapting the “seeds of inspiration” to the season and the upcoming Winter snow. Brilliant!
We have a rock garden for this purpose of balancing rocks. It is a favorite place for our kids. I think I will try and create a wire tree with the class for our room we can then “plant” at our new center. It could be a winter long project.
