Jewerly Box Robots

5th grade students were finishing up a very exciting robot lesson right before school was shut down due to COVID-19.  One of the 5th grade classrooms have not yet assembled their robots so the project is not complete, but here are some images about the lesson.

Students chose their color background construction paper and then I hot glued down two pieces of a cardboard jewelry box, one being for their robots head and the other for their robots torso.  Students then got to select multiple items they could use to assemble onto the boxes to create their robot.  However before assembly, students had to design a blue print for what their robots would look like considering functional questions in their design.

  

 

 

Faith Ringgold inspired Story Quilts

3rd graders created paper Story Quilts after being inspired by the artist Faith Ringgold and her book Tar Beach.  Students were asked the question "If you could fly anywhere in the world, real or imaginary, where would you go?" Then students drew a picture of themselves flying over a special place.  They decorated small squares and arranged them in a pattern before gluing them to create a boarder for their main drawing.

 

 

Cat Drawings

2nd graders followed along with me to draw a cat using simple shapes.  Then students colored both their cat and the background with crayons.

Silly Sandwich

4th grade students designed a silly sandwich filling the inside with different edible and non-edible items between the bread.  Students examples below, as well as my own.
