A few weeks back we hung some Easter Egg Disco Ball things in our windows (yes, here I go again, raving about our windows, but we love them THAT MUCH!!) They were quite neat, and certainly added to the sensorial (is that even a word?) side of our classroom. I should point out that they shimmered like a disco ball, but the effect was a bit hard to see... the dots were mostly restricted to the windowsills. So the results were neat, but not quite what they could have been.
All in all we enjoyed them quite a bit that we have just taken them down, but not before a little discussion about how sad it was that Easter was over, and the reason was that the 'shiny Easter Eggs' would be put away.
I did consider leaving the eggs up, and probably would have if I didn't find these in my latest 'shopping spree' at the local Dollarama!
The children helped hang these in the window, on a more than cloudy morning. The fanfare was subdued, and the children carried on with their day without a second thought. But it wasn't until the late afternoon that the magic happened.
Our camera could not capture the true effect, but it was truly magical. Just imagine the entire classroom shrouded in tiny spinning dots. The children's faces added to the magic of it all. They all just stood in the middle of the room looking at the ceiling in delight and awe.
In addition to the lovely disco balls, we have hung CDs in our windows, and the results are quite outstanding.
Such a simple and easy thing, but oh so effective.
