Leaf Bowls in Progress

Fourth graders have created beautiful ceramic leaf bowls and now it's time to glaze.  Here are some photos of the glazing process.  Next we fire them in the kiln one last time, we can't wait to see how the finished products come out!

The One and Only Ivan Artwork

All classes are starting off the year with artwork based on our summer reading book, The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate.  The animal drawings (elephants for K -2, and gorillas for 3 - 5) depict the students' ideas and visions about the natural habitat of these endangered species.  Here are some images of students just getting started on their work...more pictures to come!
