It's CLAY DAY!

 

 
Check out this little herd of elephants! My 4th and 5th graders really loved working with clay and creating this wonderful little creatures.

 
The kids really enjoying discussing fractions when we divided our clay into pieces to form our elephants. Then I really blew them away discussing the science of firing clay and the evaporation of water molecules!
 
 
 
 
 
After firing, we will paint them gray and take them home to treasure forever!
