prayer flags with Mom

Made prayer flags with Mom and friends at
the long term care facility.  The crayon rubbing
backgrounds were fun and everyone had 
a different sentiment to share.... 
They will be hanging in their courtyard 
soon!

flags of empathy

Just worked with a great bunch of grade 7-8 students
making flags of empathy.
The idea was based on the premise of prayer flags
and the kids did wonderful work.....


We did the printed symbols with adhesive fun 
foam on wood blocks.  Many of the symbols 
were from Adinkra ( African)


The flags will fly outside the school and also be 
shown at a Muskoka Chataqua in June.
