Memory Lane Kit and Paper Clips


Memory Lane kit by Sandra Boddington Designs at The Sweet Shoppe Designs, "E" by Rhonna Farrer, FOnt: Marcie's Skinny Script, Artistamp Medium

Today we watched Paper Clips a movie about a class project done in Whitwell, Tennessee. The children and teachers were trying to wrap their minds about the 6,000,000 Jews killed in the Holocaust. The ended up receiving over 20,000,000 paper clips and setting up a memorial using a German boxcar.

I did some research about the paper clip idea and came across this site: Holocaust Education. The history of the paper clip used to start the project in Tennessee was erroneous, but the outcome was amazing non the less.


::::::::::::::::::::Child Study Center:::::::::::::

Evey got to wear a yellow cap with leads on it to study her brain waves. She was being used as a "normal" control for a study on Autism. The students working with her were really nice and Eve told me she had a fun time. She also picked out a new magnet puzzle with fish on it as a reward from center.
