Week of 9/18/2023 - 4ths and 5ths finish rotation 1

 This week 4th and 5th graders returned to finish work started in week 1.

4th graders finished writing words from their mind map using a variety of fonts, traced their self portrait and words using black Sharpie of different thicknesses - Chisel tip, fine point and ultra fine point depending upon how big or small their letters were. They added water color to a few areas of their work to complete their typography self portraits.

 

 

5th graders wrote words from their mind map in a variety of fonts using different Sharpies like the 4th graders, colored this side with crayons of different colors and added line patterns with a black sharpie on the other side. We used foam strips and glue dots to first assemble and then fix the letters to a cardboard base. Students explored how many strips were needed and figured out how to balance the letters so it would remain standing.

 

 5th graders used iPads to take at least 4-5 photos/ letter  of their positive quote and make movements gradual. They transferred files onto iMovie and added music to complete works.
