Tie and Dye

Materials: White cloth, hot water, diobose, tie, bottle Step 1: Place a pre-washed, still damp (the fabric should not be dripping wet, but evenly damp as if it came directly out of the washing machine), t-shirt flat on a smoothed plastic drop cloth. Step 2: Pick a spot on the shirt and pinch some fabric to place between your fingers. Some use a fork in place of your hands but that has been known to tear the fabric if you are not careful. Step 3: Twist your fingers to begin the spiral twirl and begin wrapping the fabric around your pinch. Continue twisting until it resembles the shape of a cinnamon roll. Step 4: Rubber bands (or tied string) is used to hold the fabric together. Slide the rubber bands under and over the spiral so that the fabric will hold its shape during the dyeing process Step 5: Wear your dust mask and dissolve 1 cup (8 oz.) of Soda Ash Fixer per gallon of warm water. Soak the tied garments about 5-15 minutes (until saturated). Reuse solution until gone. Squeeze out excess so garment is just damp, not dripping. Step 6: Using your dust mask and gloves, combine water with all chemicals except dye. Add liquid to dye gradually, pasting up to avoid lumps. Apply the dye to your shirt using squeeze bottles, paint brushes, sponges, etc., as many colors as you want. Easiest to use a funnel to pour dissolved dye into squeeze bottles. Step 7: Put fabric (still tied) in a plastic bag (the idea is to keep it wet and chemically active - any method of keeping it wet is O.K.) and let sit for at least 4 hours but preferably 24 hours to "cure". Shorter times work better in summer, and longer times are needed when it is cold. Step 8: Remove from bag and while still tied, rinse off the excess dye under cold running water (faucet, hose or shower), then rinse in warmer water while you untie and after garments are untied, until water runs fairly clear. Have your washing machine prefilled with hot water with Synthrapol and throw in the clothing as soon as it is rinsed, running it through a full cycle.

Monday, November 22, 2010 sample guidance program for elementary The Guidance Program The purpose of the Counseling Department at Nido de Aguilas is to provide solution-focused counseling services that will maximize students academic, social, and emotional potential. The guidance team offers services to students, teachers and parents through four primary interventions . Counseling is a confidential relationship, which the school counselors conduct with students individually and in small groups to help them resolve or cope constructively with their problems and developmental concerns.Students are referred to counseling services through self-referral, the request of parents or guardians, teachers, principals, the Student Study Team or through the direct request of the counselor. Counseling may be conducted for the following purposes: Immediate, responsive services - Students coping with a recent death, divorce or other family crisis receive individual and/or small group support to help them cope with major life changes and loss. Students in transition - new and departing students receive support from the counselor, either individually or in a large group, to help them cope with identity development, transition and stress. Student Behavior - The counselor is responsible for counseling students with discipline behaviors on anger management skills, conflict resolution training and decision-making skills. However, the counselor is NOT a disciplinarian. Individual, brief solution-focused counseling sessions. Students may receive no more than 8 individual counseling sessions for support with self-esteem, family changes, emotion management and social skills. Students receiving individual counseling must have a teacher and parent referral. Counselors do not conduct therapy at school.
