4th Grade Magazine Bowls





Our student teacher, Miss Deale, has been teaching this project with the students and they are loving it!  On the first day they have been learning about human consumption and recycling.  They have also been learning about artists who use found objects, (or items that would normally be thrown in the trash), to create their artwork.  For this project, 4th graders are recycling old magazines by creating a bowl with the pages.  On the first day of this project they have been creating the rods by folding and gluing one magazine page at a time.  During the next class they will continue this process to make more rods then assemple the rods to create a bowl.
