2nd Grade Results - Squares and Macchia

2nd graders finished their Cooperative Concentric Square pieces this week. I posted the lesson here earlier in the month.

Having the small musical score squares in the four corners helped kids reconstruct the concentric squares when they cut them apart and reglued. I didn't originally have they do that for that reason , but turned out to be REALLY useful. I had just had the kids use them to reinforce the concept of "repetition."

This shows a student using a small piece of foam core board to "stamp" on paint details.

Some chose to use markers for details as well as (or instead of) paint.

Here are a few of their Chihuly inspired paper macchia, too. That lesson is posted here.

I have heard from parents that a LOT of kids went home and "educated" Mom and Dad about Dale Chihuly and his "hot shop"!!!
