Fingerprint Letters by Gr. 4 and 5


We had an extra day before beginning our new painting unit, so we did this one -day masking tape and finger-printing lesson.  Each student did the first letter of their name.  After all the finger-printing, we peeled off the masking tape to see the fabulous results!

Fraction Art by Grades 4 and 5!

 Upper grades are figuring out how to create fantastic collages using fractions.  Each student starts with 8 circles, divided into halves, fourths, eighths and sixteenths.  They then use their fraction pieces to create a symmetrical collage.  Even though everyone starts with the same fractions, each art piece comes out completely unique!
