Elementary II (4th, 5th and 6th Grade)

The grid project is completed! The students mounted the work on black paper, being careful to try and mount their work straight. The art work is currently hanging in the gallery space by the entrance to the gym. We have begun a project in the Maker Space which the students are very excited by. I am running three different projects to suit the skill level of each class. The 4th level class are learning how to use a hand held drill and the scroll saw to create a dowel constructed sculpture. The 5th level class are learning how to measure accurately using a ruler, has had lessons on the drill press, hand sander, belt sander and scroll saw to construct a napkin holder. The 6th grade class is able to use all the tools with the exception of the chop saw. They will be building a bird house. I appreciate any donation of wood, especially pine boards as that wood is the softest to build with and easy for the students to sand.
