Someone is having as much fun with Slugs as we are! This car is not owned by anyone we know. But, maybe we should meet the driver . . . .
Here are some wonderful Sculpy® Slugs made by some talented students.
And our reviews on Amazon are the best!! Thank you for adding your comments about We Love Slugs and our other books. We appreciate each and every one.
When most people hear the word slug mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is, “Ewww.” Slugs are not typically thought of with the fondness afforded more enticing class pets like rabbits or lizards or even aquarium fish. However, slugs make a better pet than any of these more traditional choices.
Our book includes photographs introducing the slug to the classroom, shows how children can create a Sculpy® Slug and make a paper habitat for it. Teachers can copy or cut out the 3-part teaching materials provided for children to learn the biology of the slug, plus included is a “peace slug stretch” an exercise, and photos showing how to make a beautiful habitat for a real slug at home.
Our goal with this book is to show teachers and parents just how exciting the world of slugs can be. We suggest that slugs be considered as having a place in a child’s home and/or in a classroom.
Master Class Materials will be presenting a workshop at the annual MSM conference. “Grounded in an understanding of Maria Montessori’s life, this workshop will inspire teachers to recommit to core Montessori principles. The presenters will demonstrate the central role that grace and courtesy lessons play in the classroom—lessons that culminate in an annual student-led tea. From the interpersonal, the presenters move to global concerns, building upon Montessori’s conviction the peace will be achieved through education. The presenters will share their recently-published books for children and educators that highlight these life-lessons embedded in the Montessori curriculum.”
