These beautiful eight-pointed stars are easy to make and it's fun to decorate your windows with them during the winter months.

What You Need:

8 square sheets of kite paper (or any paper, but kite paper is translucent so when you hang the stars in your window they have a beautiful stained glass window effect)
Glue stick

Learn how to make beautiful paper star lanterns. These are perfect for your winter nature tables, for a lantern walk, or to decorate your advent spirals. They are also an excellent way to use up watercolour paintings. You can even coat the paper in olive oil and let it dry before folding it into a lantern. The oiled paper creates a beautiful translucent effect when lit up.

Remember to never leave your candle unattended.

Things You'll Need

Square paper of your choosing. We used a piece that was 30cm by 30cm which worked well, but you may want to make yours smaller or larger.
Scissors
Olive or Vegetable oil (optional)
A tea-light (you can use battery operated tea-lights too)

Kindness Quilt Project

Each Daily Wonder unit comes complete with three weeks of guided daily curriculum and a 4th week called a Flex Week. Parents can rest assured that the curriculum is covered as planned for each unit during the first three weeks. If parents choose to continue the daily routine with Flex Week, they will continue to cover the curriculum and expand on that with design thinking as well.

The Flex Week project for the Grade 2, Month 7, The Wonder of Reading unit is the completion of a Kindness Quilt. The theme of kindness runs through the stories told during this unit. Stories of kindness are a perfect backdrop for the level of reflection appropriate for the 7 or 8-year-old. It is more developmentally appropriate for a child this age to feel how they feel rather than to think about how they feel. This means it is easier for them to read about kindness and feel how that care feels than for them to bring this into their thinking for analysis.
