Clay Mugs
















I talked about fifth grade's clay mugs earlier this year and never had an opportunity to put photos of the finished mugs up.

Birds in Nests....











First grade recently made birds and eggs out of clay. They also gathered items a bird would use to build a nest. The students made their nests, added the eggs and then put their bird in.

Forty Dot Monsters







We had a lot of fun recently making "40 Dot Monsters". The children made 4o random dots on their paper and connected them. After they connected the dots they added details, patterns, and anything else they wanted to make it into a monster. It was a really easy, fun project to do. The results were great. Here are a few of the third grade results.

Pandas







Second Grade recently did watercolor paintings of Panda Bears. Second Grade studies China in their classrooms.

Oh Happy Day!

Greetings,
Sorry for the long absence... Unfortunately I couldn't get to the blog any longer at school. I had made several requests and never was able to get the blog with the photos. Recent changes have made it possible for me to access it so I'm going to get back to regular postings. I have many photos of the great things the children have been doing the past few months to add.
Thanks for your patience,
Ms. Mellott
