Mrs. Love's Art Class: ART PARTY!!!

I have been tracking grades k-5's behavior on a chart since the first day. They can earn a green, yellow, or red box each class. The goal is to get all green boxes. Yellow boxes are OK but that means we have some behavior problems and red is bad news. If a class got 2 red boxes then they didn't have a party. If a class had all green boxes everyone attended the party. If there were multiple yellow boxes for a class, then I make the judgement call as to who didn't earn the party and needed to work harder next quarter. No worries, there are 3 parties left to be earned this year!

Here are some of the fun photos from the parties!

There were 3 stations. Kids had 10 minutes at each station. I had a timer up on the smartboad so they could manage their time.

Grades 2-5

Clay- totally independent- I didn't assist them at all with this... whatever they made in 10 mins was what they would end up with.

Spin art- Totally independent- Had to work in pairs- I bought salad spinners from walmart and instead of cutting paper into a circle which would of taken forever, I cut a long strip and we put it along the wall of the salad spinner. One kid used an eyedropper to put the paint in the hole while the other spun the thing.

Slime- This was the only station I was assisting the kids-

recipe for slime:

1 teaspoon Borax and 1 cup of water- Mix until totally dissolved

In a separate container- 4oz or 1/2 cup elmers glue, 1/2 cup water, a few drops of food coloring- Mix

Add both mixtures together in a large bowl. Mix until it feels like slime. If it is very sticky then it is not totally mixed or you messed up somewhere.

HAVE FUN!
