3rd Graders Begin Their Clay Peacocks

What a fun class! In order to have an entire class period to begin our clay project, we had to do an extra long demonstration today and the students did great! Unfortunately, I used my iPad mini and you can't see too much of what I'm doing, so this video will not appear under my project demonstrations (I'm going to have a more picture friendly version there) but the commentary is great and the students seemed to enjoy being my "camera crew".

 

When I found this project on Pinterest they were originally supposed to be used as tea light candle holders, but as a class we talked about them being used as containers for change, jewelry, sea shell holders, etc.
