More Awesome Whistles

Trimester Two is coming close to an end.  Once again the clay whistle project has been a huge hit.  The creativity I have seen in my students this year is mind blowing.  So proud of all of them!

Here are a few examples from Trimester Two: 

Hoping For An Early Spring

Third grade students kicked off our return from winter break by creating pinch pot frogs.  I always love the oooohh's and aahhhh's that follow when I show students how to make these little creations.

Example of pinch pot frog creation.

This year I had an improvement over the leg design.  Instead of using a slab method, I chose a coil. It seemed to be more successful for the students to manage on their own.  I love when you have a great lesson and then just like magic, a better way to implement part of it makes even more awesome.  :)

All in a days work.
