Circus Art

Just a heads up...next week we will learn about Alexander Calder...best known for his mini circus made from found objects. To go along with our study, I am asking each child to collect boxes, buttons, caps, rubber bands, wire, small boxes, tubes, string, etc...whatever is needed to make something you would find at a circus! This completed (at home) tiny project will be due next Friday, November 14th. The children will share their project with the class as well as use it for a writing assignment. Last year we did this in class and quite honestly, it was tough because 22 kids all at once needed something hot glued all at the same time! The kids really love this project and I know they will have a lot of fun with it...you will, too!
