120- We used cardboard, magazines and tape to make the armatures for our papier mache masks. The students were really into this! They were holding the masks up and laughing the entire time they constructed the masks. It was a great class. I'm going to do the mask project with 112, too, and we're already brainstorming how our masks can be inspiration for a play or stage production. :)
112 and 108- I brought more students in for the foyer mobile project. Everyone seems to love this project. The nice thing about it is that the students can talk to me about other things- about their lives, their interests, their classes- while improving their fine motor skills. It's very relaxing to paint the little cardboard pieces.
118 made a lot of progress with their work on the clay church. They felt they'd made enough square "walls" to start piecing them together. They followed directions this time and used slip and scoring. They attached the walls together to build the facade, then etched in the main components of the facade. It looks great. They need to figure out a way to prop up the very large facade. They were talking about using the walls they already made to support the facade, but I think they are going to need more clay, or maybe use something else... At any rate, I think the church will enjoy seeing the observational work the students are doing.

101 and 103. I had both preschools this afternoon, so we continued to "paint cheese!" which is how they refer to the foyer mobile.
