I love helping out the PTO. Being a stay at home mom, I am always trying to come up with ideas that not only keep me busy, but also can help out my children's schools. Last year my son's school PTO wanted to spruce up the playground area, specifically the large blacktop area. I had the idea to add a huge United States stencil. I found the perfect one online at http://www.stencilease.com/. They also have separate stencils for each state that the teachers could use for studying different states. So, lots of parents volunteered to help paint the large scale US stencil map. it was a huge success! The principal was thrilled, as was the PE teacher. I guess the PE teacher takes the kids onto the map stencil and helps them learn their states while running around. Sounds like a great way to make learning fun for the kids! Don't you think??
