Finished Pottery Pieces & Fifth Grade Week 10

First a very brief wrap-up of what Hanna learned this week, and then on to her finished pottery pieces I couldn't wait to pick up!!

This week Hanna worked on:
  • ELA/Math-Sandi McQueen's Language Lessons 25-28 and Rod and Staff Math lessons 33-36.
  • History-History Odyssey~Ancients Level Two lesson 15; completed 4 more sections in Ancient Egypt History Pocket.
  • Science-Apologia Zoology 1~Flying Creatures Lessons 8 & 9. She made a very cool baby pterosaur fossil. You can see a "how to" on this fun project *here*.
  • Wordly Wise-Lesson 9
  • Field Trip-We took a day trip to a nearby Science Museum. You can read about that *here*.
I couldn't wait to get Hanna's finished pottery pieces back. Here are the final pieces. I think they turned out great and can't wait to put them out and up around our home! If you'd like to see the pieces before they were finished click *here*.

Here is Hanna beside her cat mask (each student had a couple of pieces on display):

  2. I made a pottery bowl just like those in the last picture when I was in first grade. I think my mom still has it. :)
    I would love to do something like that with my kiddos.

    Thanks for sharing!

  11. I just love those kind of pottery places where you get to create or pick a piece and then paint it and they bake it for you! Your post reminded me that my sister and I were going to take the kids to one and didn't make it in the spring...I smell a field trip in the making :)

  12. I am just in awe - Hannah is truly talented. It's wonderful that she can express her talent in so well. I don't even know which piece is my favorite - they are all brilliant in their own way.
