6th Grade's Solar System Projects

To wrap up our Solar System unit, the 6th graders had to create a scale of the solar system using any materials that they wanted.  Some used foam balls, some used candy, and some came up with their own amazing ideas!  All of the projects turned out amazing.  I just wish I would have gotten pictures of all of them!  Good job, 6th Grade!


Meet the Master's

Mrs. Harvey came and taught us about Van Gogh and helped us re-create one of his most famous paintings "A Starry Night".  Students used oil pastels and black construction paper to create their masterpieces.   Thank you, Mrs. Harvey, for coming and teaching us this fun art project.

Moon Art

For a fun art project, we created "Moon Art."  We used white tempura paint and a wet sponge to create the texture of the moon on black construction paper.  Then, we used paper bowls to trace and cut out our moon.  We glued the moon onto another piece of black construction paper, then added star stickers to complete the picture.  This was a fun art project and everyone's looked amazing!
