Kid Quote of the Week
This week our school has been celebrating Africa. We've tried food, listened to guest speakers, made crafts, watched videos...... We've done so many activities!
Our last project was making a necklace with a paper plate. While explaining to the kids how it would look like a necklace (I of course put the example on to demonstrate how the necklace-plate would look), Jane let me know how it REALLY looked!
"It's the cone of shame!" Jane ~ Oh Witty One
Needless to say, it was no longer a necklace but "the cone of shame". I had a good laugh and so did the rest of the class; however, I don't think I'll ever look at a paper plate the same again....
