Week of 5/29/2023 - 5th Grade legacy mural

 Mural time!!

 5th graders had created mural design back in April using Sketchpad on their Chromebooks. The final mural design for the legacy mural below was colorful, bright and had a positive quote! I traced the design Memorial day weekend using a thick Sharpie marker on the wall and we were ready to go starting Tuesday, 5/30/23. I also like to tape color copies of the design on the wall so students know what part they are painting and what it's supposed to look like.

Since we have 4 5th grade classes this year, I assigned groups of 7-8 students so I could cover all 4 classes over the 4 days. One thing that was tricky this year was the uneven surface in front of the wall - I had move the ladders multiple time to make sure it was stable unlike the flat, concrete surface for last year's mural. Since the mural was directly across one of our 1st grade classrooms, it was lovely to see students ask everyday if the mural was done and cheer the 5th graders on :)
