Week of 3/6/2022 - Kolam with 4th and 5th grade

 4ths and 5ths started work on their Kolam plates this week! Most students remembered this lesson from last year and were excited to get started! 

I gave students a white board and marker and had them switch spots at the end of this lesson to write something positive about their peer's artwork. This is in preparation to have students critique each other's work using the TAG method - Tell something positive, Ask a question and Give a suggestion. It was heart warming to see their faces light up as they read the comments given to them. When I asked students how it felt when they read these comments one student enthusiastically replied "Ms.R, this makes me feel empowered about my art"!

 Here are some examples!
