I've been teaching a Junior Great Books reading group once a week at R's school. Because it's an extra group, and I don't have the homework authority of a teacher, I bring a small bribe each week for the kids who are prepared and participate. One week it's a pencil; another week it's a fun eraser or a bookmark. Yesterday's meeting was the last of the year, so the prize is a notebook meant for summer lists and doodling. I rooted through my recycling to find a dozen kid-friendly boxes to make into notebooks. As I'm sure I've noted elsewhere on my blog, who doesn't enjoy a Jello notebook?
In case you are wondering just how much Jello is served in my house, most of the boxes used in the making of these notebooks are left from a science project--also for R's class. It turns out layers of different-colored Jello make a fine (and tasty) model of sedimentary rock.
