Students are learning about 2dimensional and three dimensional shapes. Also, they are learning about landscape. They will be drawing and painting their landscape using these shapes.

Students are learning about the history of stained glass and the difference between geometric and organic shapes.  These shapes will be used later in the stained glass window that they will create with papers.

Students folded a practice paper in half and drew a frame around it.

They used three geometric shapes in the middle of the frame. Shapes were supposed to fit like pieces of a puzzle inside the frame. They should not touch.

Students had to cut each shape by punching a hole in the middle to help them go around the shape to cut it out.

Students are learning about the colors wheels, the primary, and the secondary colors. They made their own color wheels by experimenting with color mixing.

The fifth graders are learning about Masks from around the world. Then, they are required to pick one from the culture of their choice.  The mask will be created using papier maché.
