CLAY WEEK!

Untitled-1

 

Its clay week!

Kindergarteners are learning how to make a pinch pot by making their hands quack like a duck!

First graders taught me about butterflies and made beautiful butterfly sculptures!

Second graders are creating a plate for apples and a pot for honey for Rosh Hashana. Rosh Hashana starts right away next year so we want to be reading for apples and honey!

Third and fourth graders are making animal masks. There are lots of cats, monkeys and Angry Birds!

Fifth graders are making mugs using clay slabs.

Fourth and fifth graders are the illustrators for Mike Fisher’s book of poems. They were each assigned a poem and drew their interpretation of the poem. They used makers and paint to color the illustrations.

They skyped with Mike Fisher in Mrs. Teitelbaum’s class. Read more about skyping with Mike Fisher at MJGDS’s fourth grade blog!
