One of the exciting benefits of belonging to this list is that what
ever is in the news we know that one of us is near and feeling the
effects. We have a personal connection and concern. Also we can
count on supporting emails like the many words of encouragement that
came on my email from my ArtsEdNet friends concerning my aunt.
Carolyn, I am hoping for the safety of all the families living near
the site. Keep us informed.

Our small town made the national news today. A local pharmaceutical
company had an explosion and has been burning since...the building is
a couple of miles from our school...and it rocked my building. We
have a staff member whose husband was burned, but he will be ok...and
we have several students who had parents that worked there. We don't
know about them yet. There is a K-12 school about a mile or less from
the plant...and the explosion blew out their windows, blowing glass in
on the kids...and raining down debris all over the school. They had
to evacuate the school and the surrounding neighborhood, due to the
toxic fumes.
We had first heard that a plane had crashed into the building...and
after 911...you can believe it was a very scary afternoon.

I will try to remember and explain an easy colored paper flower.
Use good paper -fadeless colored paper like Riverside Tru-Ray or the
fadeless paper that is a different color on each side.
Students trace their hands and write a message or color a design on
one side. (If it needs to be larger than a child's hand then I would
ask one child to trace and the enlarge on a copy machine and copy a
pattern to be traced)
Cut out the hands, roll and scrunch the "wrist" tight. Can roll
around, scrunch and tape (or twist tie) to a toothpick, stick, or a
Popsicle stick.
Put Styrofoam block of ball or a green flower foam into the vase and
press in a mass of the hands. From a few steps away it looks like a
generous vase of flowers.
I have used this for a flower gift of messages to someone who retires
or for a celebration.

I was asked today to come up with some ideas for 3-D flowers to go
into very large pots inside an elementary school. They want all the
kids to make the flowers and stick them into the pots.
Any patterns or ideas on how to make these "flowers" would be helpful!
