Temari in Education - Daphne Intermediate School, Fairhope,
Alabama
These photos
and
info started out as a Check it Out page, but are a perfect addition to
Temari in Education - This comes from Daphne Intermediate School in
Alabama,
where one of the Discussion Group members is one of 2 gifted education
instructors on campus. Blair says, " I shared a print out of
Karen's
Temari cards with Carolyn, my coworker, as she had done string art
with her students recently. Carolyn fell in love with Karen's work and
ordered the templates. Then she had the idea of enlarging the patterns
which she did with Karen's permission."
Karen says,
" Blair and Carolyn purchased the card kits, and later contacted
me if they could use the patterns and templates as a teaching aid for
their
gifted students class. I gave them the go ahead and my only request was
that they send pix of the students and projects. There are some of the
students in progress, and then students with completed projects... and
I am thrilled with the results. Kids put me to shame every time! Hope
you
enjoy them, and we have everyone's permission to use them .... any
where
else you'd like to show them off". Show them off we do! And we
hope
that this might servce as a reference and resources of how you can
incorporate
Temari techniques into education or youth projects. Blair shared
a news article about herself and invovlement in the gifted kid's
program
- and listed Temari as her relaxation!
Webmasters
note - a super hats off to the teachers of this world, and to ordinary
