March is Arts in Education month!
But, in OUR schools, we celebrate it all year long. Our 5th graders have recently completed a combined Art/Science project where they created a 3/D representation in Plastercraft® of a volcano and surrounding land areas. Using common household items, students and teachers were able to see the chemical reaction when we "errupted" the volcanos.
Also grade 5 students spent considerable time working and studying Picasso and his cubistic style, while working with rulers and measurements to design, identify and use various quadrilateral shapes and assorted angles as a math tie in.
Using everyday tools such as rulers and focusing on measurements have also been figuring prominently in our 3rd and 4th grade student lessons as well. We are, and have been, studying other cultures in our paper work such as Mexican weavings, God's Eyes, Chinese calligraphy and graphics. We have lots more to come, too!
