This is the 3rd year for Dylan to be in a structured classroom. The first two were considered preschool and now that he's five, he's in Kindergarten. I thrive at making things for his classroom and volunteering my time. Unfortunately, because of time constraints and the demand of a full-time school schedule, I'm not able to commit to any time IN the classroom. I talked with his teacher and just asked if there was anything she needed done outside of the classroom. The next day, I received 10 requests for projects that she'd like "done up". Oh, this will be easy,sewing crafts are my specialty.
Here is a picture of the 40 mice that she requested. This included cutting all of the felt, hand-sewing all of the eyes & ears, sewing the body, filling with split peas, braiding yarn for the tail and then finish hem for each of body.... a total of close to 25 hours. Next to these are little triangle blocks of cheese that each one comes with to complete the bean bag toss game.
We also have ghosts to do, Superboy puppets, BINGO games, and the "Counting with Apples" (which includes cutting 10 trees and 67 apples for each game). This task may be a little more than I was hoping for but since I don't get to be in his classroom, or go on any field trips, or even pick him up from school - this is the alternative to helping out.
THANK YOU to my sweet friend, Janae for always loving Dylan as though he's one of her own children and doing my Dylan run so I can attend classes... LOVE YOU!
