Turn Calendars into Gift Bags
This holiday season can be so confusing for those of us caught between wanting to commit to sustainability and wanting to participate in some form of popular culture (aka presents under the tree).
I'm not crafty enough for this, but I know most FSP families are :
Gift Bag Your Calendar -- directions for turning 2010 into wrapping paper :)
The Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood publishes a guide and links to some other resources for adding simplicity to the holidays.
And, if there is some truth to the NYT motherlode comments that it is really ok to give kids (and adults) some whimsy and purchased pleasure in the holiday season, use the comments to share your best gift ideas!

Creation Day
It was a day of creations for my daughters -- a field trip with Habitat for Humanity (for the 1/2 and 3/4 classes) yielded great new thinking about insulation and house building, then a bridge construction project generated a conversation about partnership, collaboration, and bridge strength... (click here for a link to a news story about the houses)
The 5/6 has started an engineering unit - -check out Jamien's Blog on the topic -- and Grace is very enamored with Design Squad.
Yeah for building, collaborating, problem solving, and another great day at FSP!
