Quick! I need a 4th Grade filler lesson!

More than half of my 4th grade students had finished their coil pots, but there were still at least 5 in every class who had not.  Anybody who has ever taught clay and had to keep 100s of projects straight knows the difficulty in keeping classes together and still have a good result.  How was I going to keep everyone busy and learning while others finished their pots?  I had recently seen this video  where William Wegman's weimaraner dogs bake bread.  The kids love it!

So I searched for Wegman art lessons and found a very good one at Art Projects for Kids.  What a great idea!  The only problem was that on order to print out the .pdf of the dog pix, you need a Scribd account, for which there is a fee.  Why pay for something when you can get it for free?

So, with 8 minutes before the kids walked through my door, I put together a word doc from these pictures found on Google Images:







(If I could figure out how to upload the doc for you, I would)!

So, everyone kept busy, finished their projects, and are all back at the same place before we start our Claes Oldenburg project next Friday!  Whew!
