Dot Day project

Fifth Grade’s Dot Day Project

by Elaine

It is only a few days till Dot Day! Dot Day is celebrated at Glenridge and it is in honor of the book, “The Dot”. In art class, all grades make a dot project. Even if Mrs. Haydon has retired, the tradition is still going on. Fifth grade is doing a mobile/stable project.

A mobile is something that is suspended with string, wire etc. A stabile is

something that is on the ground. Fifth grade has to make something using only card stock, wire, yarn, pipe cleaners, various types of beads, circle shapes, hole punchers, and scissors. This may seem like a vast variety of materials, and maybe it is. But is missing something very important: tape or glue! Without at least one of the materials it is impossible to put things together! Or is it? We (Mrs. Barnes’s class) have improvised and made our own works of art. How we did it? Well we (or at least I!) don’t want to spoil the secret....
