Lesson Title: Monsters with Presents (4th Grade)
During my elementary internship I was dying to use clay. Most of the students at the school had never used any kind of clay, so I was ecstatic to share my love of this medium with them. The students were to draw/design 2 monters using contrasting colors. After picking their favorite during the next class they made them 3-dimensionally. Each monster was required to hold a cube or present in some manner. These monsters came out super cute! The students had a blast while learning about form and color.
We decided to place hooks into the backs of the monsters so they could be hung on the tree if desired. There was a good amount of prep work done for this project, but it was defiantly worth it when you saw how much the students and other teachers enjoyed them.
