Boat Challenge

End of the Year Boat Challenge
2nd Grade


Can you and your team build a boat out of discarded materials, that can float and deliver Sally the Shark and Donny the Dolphin to safety?

Pinch Pot Transformations

Pinch Pot Transformations
6th Grade 

Here we are, almost July, and it is time to update a few posts that fell through the cracks in the end of the year shuffle.  Short and sweet!

After looking at examples and sketching ideas, 6th graders each created a pinch pot and transformed it into something new!  They used clay sculpting techniques, scoring, and slipping to realize their ideas.  Very impressed with the variety and originality these sculptures represent!


Working with wet clay.
