Project Day 勞作日

In the school that I taught, every Wednesday is "PROJECT DAY." Although the school provides lesson plan, my school manager often forgets to prepare the materials. As a result, I have to improvise a lot. If your school is like this, then you must wish to have millions of  tricks up in your sleeve to handle the situation.
在我之前待的學校，每個星期三是勞作日。雖然學校會給老師們勞作的教學計劃，但是我們學校的教學主管常會忘記準備材料，所以我總得隨機應變，以學校現有的材料製作勞作。如果你的學校也有同樣困擾，那麼你一定要有一些『口袋勞作』好應付。

My advice for this kind of craft related project was to keep it simple. Most of the time,your students will need you assistance. If you have a big sized class, you might not have the time to help/attend/finish every students. So if you keep it easy, students can execute it themselves and you don't have to intervene too much.
我對於這種勞作的建議是越簡單越好，因為大部分的學生會需要你的幫忙，假若你班上有很多學生，你會疲於奔命。所以，勞作越簡單，學生就可以自行操作，你也可有比較多的時間來注意學生的情形。
以下是一些我常用之勞作書與網頁，希望也能幫上你！

AEP's  The Complete Book of Arts and Crafts  is a great book with easy art to do. However, some of the material might be more difficult to obtain.


Amazing Mom has some easy-to-do, clean and great result project to do with kids!

Kaboose  is a great site to search for ideas. All the craft are themed related. Good for holiday or seasonal work. It also has "cooking" that you might try with your kids.

DLTK This is one of my favorite sites, it is filled with tons of craft ideas. Although some parts of it required membership in order to print or download, it still inspires me with lots of great ideas.
