Project Ideas Moonlight2danceby 10/17/04
    Hi All,

    My son Daniel is in sixth grade this year and I am the room mother for his class. There is a child in his class that was diagnosed with cancer over the summer break, fortunately it has a 98% cure rate so we are all hopeful that she will be fine. The problem is she is receiving treatment and loosing a lot of time with her classmates, she comes in for an hour here and there but no more.

    This is the year the class graduates elementary school and goes on to the middle school so it is kinda a big year for the kids. My question to you are what kinda project can you suggest for the class to do that would make this student feel part of the class and not so left out?

    Thanks for any and all help

    Denise

      Or use the picture-from-a-letter idea (each child is assigned a letter of the alphabet), make each picture simple and colorful, slip each finished picture inside a 3-hole plastic page cover, and then put all inside a 3-ring binder to make a unique ABC book for the hospitalized kids. Someone can use markers to draw a special cover for the book. (Or do the same thing but use numbers from one to nine - make more than one book since there are more than nine students.)

      Also, someone could use a hole punch to punch out lots of different colored dots. Each student has a sheet of manila or white art paper and creates a picture using the dots (a la Pointillism, as by the artist Seurat) and Elmer's or a glue stick. The ill student (and the others as well) can work on this at home too. Dots can be taken home in Baggies.
