Today I taught a class of grade 3 and 4 students how to make bracelets. As I arrived, their teacher had them all on the computers looking at my website to see the type of jewelry that I made. They were all so enthusiastic, about having this opportunity to create their own piece of jewelry, and it went really well! Even the boys in the class thoroughly enjoyed themselves. In fact the last 3 bracelets shown here at the bottom, were all created by little boys! Unbelievable! They were making a bracelet to give to a special person in their lives, so the lucky recipients were mostly moms, grandmas and sisters, although one little boy decided that his creation was for his Webkinz toy.There was great excitement as they selected their beads for their bracelet, and it was interesting to see the designs that they came up with. One girl was inspired by the sky and the earth, another by summer, and a boys' inspiration was a volcano! After they had completed their projects, their teacher had them think of a name for their bracelets and each child had to write an explanation about who their bracelet was for, why they chose that name for their design. It was alot of fun, and the kids were all so great and well behaved!
