Yesterday our class made models of the human cell using salt dough.
I gave the students beans and licorice, buttons, rice, and string and let them go to town. Next week we'll mount them on foam trays and label the parts.
I had forgotten I had this tin in my room. I bought it at an estate sale a couple of years ago for next to nothing. 
In the tin was another tin.
I found shells and vintage buttons.
Many of the kids used buttons to represent the nucleus.
After school at Value Village, I found some amazing books for the class, including books on ancient Egypt, prehistoric people, an Art Attack book of crafts and Tomson Highway's Dragonfly Kites. If you buy four books at Value Village, you get the fifth free. It's always worth having a hunt for books at this store.
Dragonfly Kites is part of of series. I've also read Caribou Song, which was wonderful. I read Dragonfly Kites to my son last night and we both enjoyed it. The illustrations are wonderful too.
This book is a dual-language book (English and Cree).
I found this Chinese Fish at Value Village for $2.99. It will bring colour and cheer to our classroom.
