For the first project of the year, my fourth and fifth graders took the bubble challenge. This is a great project for teaching the difference between transparent, translucent and opaque. We had to keep most of the bubbles black, otherwise they would look more like marbles, which is another fun project! This is a great activity, which had a 99.9% success rate and the kids loved it. I got the idea from Pinterest and I recommend you try it.
This year I wrote a MEF grant, called "Paint, Paint, Paint." The grant gave me $500.00 to buy art supplies. The Florida Consortium of Education Foundation funded this grant for which I am truly thankful. I used it to buy craypas, paper, tempera paint and ceramic glazes. This generous grant will make all this year's projects possible.
I love this, and I think it is important to have the students be successful on their first project, so if they struggle through the next project, they know that they have succeeded in the past!
