Who knew paper and scissors could be so much fun?! There are days when my experience as a teacher comes in quite handy. Today was one. Having provided ample insruction in the making of paper snowflakes, I was happy to be the expert on hand today. I was pleasantly surprised that even Sophie's little fingers could fashion a brilliant design. Emma, who already appears to have that engineer's brain, enjoyed the symmetry and geometry of it all. And, oh what fun, when we unfolded each snowflake after making all of the carefully planned snips and cuts. Sophie was practically giddy with excitment when she declared, "Every snowflake is such a surprise!"
I'm not sure what inspired me to have a go with paper snowflakes today. Perhaps it was one of those really bad Hallmark Christmas movies, but whatever the reason, our office is now decked out for Christmas. It was one of the few rooms that hadn't been made festive.
