Family Crest

3rd graders are studying the history and culture behind a family crest.  They had to research their family history and heritage then apply this knowledge to their own unique Family Crests.  This was a super fun project for the kids because it was so individualized.  Notice how all the crests are unique and different.  Our crests consist of a shield, mantling, helmet, crest, last name, and at least 3 pictures which describe our families.

Expressionism with Expressions

4th grade students studied the era of Expressionism.  They created 8 different expressions from their personality, made a collage using these expressions, then added words that defined their personality.
