All students just finished glazing their clay projects. Kindergarteners learn the basics of applying the glaze while the rest of the students learned about using different color schemes on their projects. Ask your student which color scheme he or she used on the clay project. Kindergarteners also practiced making patterns over the past several weeks.
Did your first, second or third grader come home talking about Zentangles®? The Zentangle method is a type of doodling. We began by watching some YouTube videos showing someone “tangling”. We then learned some different designs with names like “rain”, “beelight”, “diagonals”, and “pillows”. The students learned six different designs for their grade level in December. Now they are using these designs plus ones that they have created to make a finished project. The first graders are making a square design, the second graders are making a circle design and the third graders are using the designs to fill in a USA map. The third graders are illustrating the principle of repetition by repeating their designs in different states across the map. Watch for these projects to be displayed very soon in the hallways of Hilltop.
