4th grade paper sculptures

A quick project I did with 4th grade to fill in time while some of the students were finishing their weavings. Staple down a piece of paper, then bend, fold, curl, or twist it and staple the other end down. The students wanted to add design with hole punchers too!

Third grade castles

Students created a background for their castles and glued on a folded castle to give it a 3D look.

Third grade work

fourth grade African masks

This lesson was inspired by a colleague at Harrisberg Elementary School in Cabarrus County.

We studied some African masks from the Fang Tribe to learn about how these masks were made and how they were used.

Students used construction paper to cut out the features. We cut slits in the masks to make them round. Students used shredded construction paper for the hair!
