Tiles Installation

SO proud of 5th grade's work on their legacy tiles! We drew on ceramic tiles with permanent markers, then dripped rubbing alcohol onto them. Simple as that! These tiles will be a backsplash around the water fountains. I am moving on from this school this year, but I hope their new teacher will carry on this tradition with 5th grade next year!

Faith Ringgold Mural

1st grade viewed the quilt artworks of Faith Ringgold. We reviewed symmetry and introduced radial symmetry. Then we worked together to create radial designs that would become quilt squares. 

I used their squares as the edge of a giant quilt mural, basically a giant version of 2nd grade's Ringgold cityscape collages. 

The quote is the last line of Ringgold's stroy, "Tar Beach". This mural took me the longest to make so far this year, but definitely worth it! ^_^
