Weeks of 10/13/25 and 10/20/25 - Second rotation with 4th and 5th grades

 4th graders returned to create prints. Students used warm and cool color neon oil pastels on a 12" square white cardstock with cool and warm color neon oil pastels. during the first one hour 20-minute class incorporating symmetry.

During the next class, they created a design using self-adhesive form on cardboard and incorporated rotational symmetry for the print!

Fifth graders started designing their Chess piece on Tinkercad. I gave each student their class code and student code, we practiced how to log on to the website and used several tools together. Students created a sketch using up to four geometric shapes on their paper and created their piece using forms on Tinkercad. 

During the next class, we created buildings using one point perspective. Students first created a vanishing point on a 11" X 14" card stock and drew six shapes using a pencil. We then used a ruler to connect the corners to the vanishing point to make it appear three dimensional. Students used color pencils to color their buildings, add line patterns to the top and also add streets if they wished to.

5th grade students also created a marigold artwork for Zamorano's Dia De Los Muertos display at Old Town! Students used neon oil pastels for their works, and 40 student works have been on display for two weeks with a black light so they could "glow"!

Our school was featured in the Sunday newspaper as well :)
