5th Grade MASKS!!!!
This is the BIG BIG BIG project for our 5th graders, they wait all 6 years to get to make their Plaster Masks... we start by making masks in molds from Plaster Paris then they are able to design and paint their masks however they wish, we look at different worldly masks for ideas but the students are able to do as they please (just avoiding masks that looks to Halloween like). They then dress them up with gems and jewels! Very fun and creative results!
I also drew a few ideas on the board with the two samples masks i had made, one a lil girlie and one a bit more fun for the boys... showing that they don't all have to be fancy masks with gems.

YEAH FOR CLAY!!
This year for clay projects we created different creatures out of pinch pot forms. The 2nd and 3rd graders created a Clay Turtle while the 4th and 5th grade kiddos made up their own Clay Dragon. Both of these projects we painted with Tempera Cakes and then coated in Mod Podge to give them a smooth shiny finish. The paint simply allowed for more details to be put into the projects.
For the lil ones we did a simple clay slab Owl by rolling folding and stamping the clay. For these we used Glazes to finish them off with a shine.

K/1 3D Lines
All year we have talked about LINES!!! you can draw them a million times but some kids (like me) need to do something more hands on to truly understand them, so we decided to make the POP off the page!! The students each got a 9x12 piece of paper and picked 5 different color 2x12 strips to fold in half, cut tabs to fold and glue onto the black paper to create a spiraling, curving world of lines.
This lesson too 2 40min classes and taught the students a great deal from following directions to patience with glue, they also learned how to help each other if they finished early.
Over all a VERY Fun lesson to fill in the time between making their Clay project getting it fired and Glazing it.
