From Dot Day to Planet Project

One of my students proudly showed off her 5th grade planet project from her classroom to me  this week.

Emily's Planet Project- Oil Pastels on Black Foam Core

I couldn't help but smile over her excitement and seeing her apply our one day International Dot Day project to another part of her life-Interdisciplinary without trying! Emily has been a gifted artist since kindergarten...check out her gallery here.

 The classroom teacher did ask me if I could help his students with this, but with a two week notice and the students being in the middle of a ocarina project I couldn't. The students did their own planet project at home instead and showed them off to me as they passed by in the hallway with them.
