After studying inventors, we used the Caine's Arcade Video to springboard into inventing our own cardboard inspired games. We have created games for several years now and each year the experience gets better for our kids. I have learned from past years a process that works and the kids have learned things by playing other kids' games from previous years. This year we focused on game directions more than we have in the past. One big improvement this year was the usage of low-heat glue guns. Using hot glue improved the quality of our games and helped to speed up the making process.
Kay Grimminger...art teacher, quilter, jewelry maker, fiber designer, and doll maker talked to the kids about creativity and thinking outside the box. Mrs. Grimminger is Mrs. Rosheim's mom! Sharing Mrs. Thormod's creative outlet...dancing! Practicing the Cupid Shuffle! Practice makes perfect! Making bracelets! Getting creative ourselves! Bill Cardwell, Famous Liberty drum maker talked to the kids and teachers about his creative life. He has even made a drum set for Ringo Starr. The teachers and parents were very impressed...the kids not so much:). Mr. Cardwell is Mrs. Jellison's (LC 3rd grade teacher) father! Lots of questions following his presentation!
