inspired by our teachers: paper mache globes

Our family is extremely fortunate to have a fantastic local public school. The teachers are wonderful and I am constantly amazed at the creativity that they bring into the classroom. I am a strong believer that hands on learning is best...I know it is for me...and I see how involved my kids are in their studies.

In third grade the kids study the world and one of the projects is making paper mache globes. I volunteered to help so got to document the occasion. I loved seeing all the various ways geography was being reinforced, and hope that since the kids were having fun, they may even remember it!
