The 2011/2012 school year has begun!

It's the fourth week of the school year, and most classes have the collage, drawing, construction, and fiber centers available.

I was very impressed by the tower created by a second grader using no tape! Below is a close up of how he attached the flag pole.

The beauty of young children is that they can create without the stifling self-conciousness that the rest of us suffer from. This was created at the construction center.

The first grader that created the two pocket tooth fairy pillow seen here is now a second grader with even more ambitious sewing aspirations. He created this multi-sectioned wallet after drawing up a detailed plan.

Having found a random letter in the collage box, this first grader added details using a ruler, markers, scrap paper, and a "string that was just there on the ground! It was just sitting there, teacher, so I 'accided to glue it on my page! It looks great, dontcha think?!"

I love what this first grader created using only glue, paper, and markers.
