Creativity Lab - To the dollar store we go!

The creativity lab was a different lab than all the rest of the semester but it was fun and exciting.  We weren't given a whole lot of details  except for the tidbit that we were going to be going somewhere off of campus.  We got to Ferguson and were all eager and excited to find out what was in store for the lab.  We had to wait a few minutes but then our limo pulled into the parking lot.  Our limo to take us to the dollar store was the classy and spectacular Ewing family mini van, with Mrs. Rice being the chauffeur!  We were able to pick out different items that equaled up to five dollars.  The favorite item I got was candles that i want to use for my welding unit to weld ice cubes together.  The second item I got was a big pack of little foam farm animals that can use for all sorts of little fun activites or ways to split the students into groups for activities so i can have a little creativity.  The most creative item that that anyone got from our lab section was when Jessie got tortillas to have her students practicing ear notching on.  It was a good ending to lab by having fun and showing us how to be creative on a low budget.  All of the stuff we got will help us with interest approaches as we student teach in the spring.
