This is a strange request but one that I need for a summer project in our CML, so please humor me. *grin* Many elementary teachers and librarians create those wonderful construction paper trees that are either built around an existing item within the classroom or library (like a pillar or column) or one that is attached to a wall but which has sprawling limbs that reach across the ceilings from which items (such as photos, leaves, etc.) can be hanging. I would like our student workers (elementary majors) to create a library tree on one of our walls here in the CML, but I don't have any photographs OR directions about how to do this. I've tried to explain what the tree would look like and I always get excited about what can be done with the tree each month throughout the year...but my student workers look at me with doubt and a little worry because I don't think they've actually seen one. SO...if you have directions, photographs, website links, or personal experiences in building / creating one of the construction paper trees that grow on a library / classroom wall, could you send me the information? I need to show these "baby teachers" what this looks like and how it can be used with our summer program (which will include things like series books--- Magic Treehouse; and outdoor adventures, hiking, camping, and nature ---see the pretty trees?) You get the idea. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I will add this information to the OSU-CML wiki for future teachers and librarians to use when they are ready to build their own forests!
