3rd Grade Circle Weavings

Inspired by the Circle art of Sonia and Robert Delaunay, students first painted their plate with concentric circles. They had the primary colors and white and black, so all additional colors were created by the student. Once completed, we transformed our circle weavings into looms! The students did an amazing job weaving and just loved this experience!

World Kindness Day!

Several classes worked on a collaborative project to help one another to practice kindness. These collaborative circle paintings require students share space, collaborate on ideas and compromise. We discussed what acts of kindness we saw at the end of class. Students were creative, had tons of fun and practiced spreading kindness. Happy World Kindness Day!! Be kind. Pass it on...

Here are a few works in progress:
