My third graders finished up a very cool project this week that tied into their recent weaving project. We read a Nigerian folk tale called “Why the Sky is Far Away” and created portraits of the king in the folk tale, the Great Oba.
Here are the beautiful results – each one is stunning!
My third and fourth graders have been exploring weaving this past week. We used some unusual “looms” for our weaving; third graders wove around a paper plate, and fourth graders are experiencing weaving around a plastic cup as their loom. Both grades are absolutely loving this new weaving technique – and many of my students are sneaking paper plates and plastic cups out of their cupboards at home so they can weave more – they are hooked!
