We are currently in the process of working with Seton Catholic Central High School to purchase a kiln for next year. In preparation for this change in our curriculum we are having students create sculptures with Plasticine, an oil-based clay that does not dry. This will also be available to students from now on for their 'free time' after and in between assignments while we wait for the rest of the class to catch up. The clay is harder then Playdoh consistency and as such is a great exercise in hand strength and fine motor skills.
First grade students were instructed to initially create Leprechauns, in their own vision. Students added hats if they thought that Leprechauns would wear hats. After all of the students created their Leprechauns they were able to free create. They came up with lots of great ideas!
