5th GRADE CLAY PROJECTS
My fifth grade classes have FINALLY begun their clay projects, and this year I'm giving them a choice of what to make. I'm basically giving the students two options: pinch pots or coils. After doing a brief demonstration on how to create a pinch pot, how to create a coil, how to join two pieces of clay together and a little intro on the wooden clay tools, I'm turning the kids loose on creating whatever they wish with one simply rule; the finished project must be either a pinch pot OR have been constructed with coils.

All of my fifth grade classes will have two days to work on and complete the project. Then...they'll go through the drying process (about a week to let all the water evaporate out of the clay) and then be fired in the kiln at 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit! We'll get to paint them in late April/early May.
EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
