Thank YOU REGINA!!
Regina Holliday deserves a BIG hug and thank you....she came in yesterday and in one hour helped me straighten out my classroom.....She is an organizing WIZZZ! Love you Regina! ....My room has not looked this neat in ages!! You are what makes a school a feel more like a 'community'!!!
Bookbinding done.......they will be journal/sketchbooks instead
Children in 3rd grade have been learning all about bookbinding. I taught them the same lesson I got while in college finishing off a studio art major. They fold sets of paper and sew them together, then they attach the pages to a cover. The children were going to use these books to show off these fables they created, yet most of them, once they saw the end result preferred to turn them into sketchbook/journals instead.
I introduced them to an artist I LOVE.......who posts her own creative journal pages online, Judy Wise at http://Judywise.blogspot.com . They were very inspired and like Judy Wise, they used mixed media to decorate their covers. Parents, please feel free to watch videos on YouTube under the search 'bookbinding'...they will make wonerful summer projects.
Samples of finished masks
5th graders are done with their elaborate 3d/textured animal mix masks.....I am trying to set up a time when all of them are able to pose for a picture with their masks on.......I will post pictures of each individual mask as well once I have all of them done.
