Pumpkin Challenge


Here are the Superheroes working hard exploring how to problem solve with six pieces of paper
 and the winning design!

Pumpkin Challenge

Challenge:   Using only six strips of orange paper, cut into 6 inch by 1 inch wide strips, create a pumpkin.   Criteria:  It must have the characteristics of a pumpkin ie can not be square.   It must be unique ie no one else's can look like yours.   This was quite a challenge especially since it was our first attempt at using a measuring tool.  The results were interesting and our winner was:  Juliette!!

Art a la Carte

The students were very excited for our first Art ala Carte.  (Thank you to Sofia's mom!)  The lesson was about Matisse and how he cut paper to create art.  The students were very excited about their creations and I hope they made it home okay.  This lesson fit in very well with our new planner: How We Express Ourselves.
