This is a bulletin board that the children will enjoy making. It is a three day process. On the first day the children are given large, green, tree-top shapes and asked to make collages. They can use dried peas, green tissue paper, green paint, any materials which are green to make their own unique collages. On the second day, the children are given different shades of blue paper, scissors, glue, cotton balls, and glitter to make their own clouds. On the third day, they are given a picture of themselves which can fit into a square shape inside different colored airplane shapes. They can chose whatever color they want and decorate their planes however they want. The green collage tree-tops are placed on the lower section of the bulletin board and the clouds are placed towards the top area while the airplanes are scattered about the board with black "flying marks" trailing behind. The children will enjoy seeing themselves as pilots on the bulletin board.

Take a suitcase to Circle Time. Tell the children you are taking a trip on an airplane (train, boat,...) but don't know what to pack in your suitcase to take with you. Ask if the children have any ideas. After getting their ideas, say, "Let's see how I did packing my suitcase. Do I need to take _____?" (pull out a pair of underwear for example-I took a pair of my son's) "How about this_______?" (pull out an egg beater) Discuss why each item is needed or not.
