I hope that everyone is enjoying this snow. I love the beauty of it, but I admit, I am beginning to feel like I want to and need to get out. I'm ready to be back in the classroom.
That being said, I have discovered an opportunity for exploration not too far from home. In the old mill buildings of North Andover, a new hive of activity has opened. The Maker Mill ( www.themakermill.com ) is open and ready for play and learning. This open concept learning center is offering drop-in courses, as well as week long programs during February break and summer vacation. Check out their offerings.
Another learning place, not too far from Topsfield, is the Essex Art Center. Located in an old mill building at the southern edge of Lawrence, this non-profit organization offers weekly after school classes, as well as programs during the February break. See what they have to offer at www.essexartcenter.org.
If staying closer to home is more appealing, have your students fill spray bottles with colored water and create a snow mural that they can post on their Kidblog.
Stay warm. Stay safe.
