My wife and I will organize if we can get commitment from folks attending to help spread the teaching load and help with supplies.
We were talking last night and were thinking of something like two sessions per Saturday so that if you can't make the morning, you could still make the afternoon, and vice versa, with each session being something different, but perhaps linked somehow (e.g origami in the morning and paper airplanes in the afternoon.) We were also thinking of starting in January to give some time to get a list of projects and parents since so many things are flying around for the holidays. Can I get a show of hands (on or off list) of: * Who is interested. * How often you can come. * How many kids would attend, and what general age group ( to get age appropriate projects - we don't want to have an Estes rocket day if all the kids are in preschool, but we may just do one if enough aren't) * If you could be tapped as a teaching volunteer * If you could be tapped as a supply procurement volunteer. * Any equipment you have that can be used under your guidance (e.g. USB microscopes, etc...) * If you'd be willing to pay a small supply fee of $2-$5 per day for some projects that may be supply intensive (if there are any) * All project ideas you can come up with, and what your top 3-5 are (have your kids help you here... :) Once we know how many folks we have and the age groups, we can all talk about what projects we want to do, and to what degree the kids can help self direct those decisions. It'd be nice to have this for cigar chomping so that we can keep the ball rolling and be more ready to see what next steps should occur. Thanks!
