Cloudy Glow Lamp Workshop

🌤️

June 18, 2025

Anythink Bennett

I think today went really well. It was my very first class. I came in a little bit nervous, not sure what to expect, but it was great, all of the children, listen to all the instructions, they didn't start until we ask them to start. None of them were touching the glue guns without help. So they all listened really well. They showed us their projects which I really, really liked and Yeah, I had a really good first class.

Today, we went over all of the ground kit, all the ground rules with all of the children. We discussed what kinds of clouds. There are the different types, what kind of clouds the kids might want to make how clouds are made, and then we jumped into the activity, we demonstrated, how to make the cloud, and then went around and helped all of the children and parents with making the actual Cloud lamb. Amps. And then we wrapped up with everything, ask kids, how they thought they did. They came up to us and showed us their final creations and then went home and we cleaned everything up and left.
