The LRC teamed up with the 6th and 7th-grade year groups this week to offer a special maker space Christmas activity. The objective was to bring a bit of fun and celebratory active learning to students while socially distancing and following school protocols. The kids were so excited to be able to work on the project and produce a large collection of cute Christmasy gnomes.
The students have been sending in photos they have taken of their Gnomes at home and we are busily adding these to our Flickr Album so we can share the fun and joy with the greater community. Many of the students have said they are going to make more gnomes at home with their families as well. The gnome hats seemed to be the clincher. Once the kids say them they were hooked and worked diligently to produce their own pompom gnomes by the end of the session.
The Gnomes are made with paper towel rolls, red and white wool, dabs of glue, a handful of filling, and a small styrofoam ball for the nose. If you are interested in making your own you may want to check out the instructions on the following
blog.
We will add the photos from the 6th-grade activities to the same Flickr Album as they roll in.
