First Grade Sculptures on Display in Great Barrington


 First Graders have artwork on display at the Mason Public Library in Great Barrington until November 26th.  Please take some time to look at the work on your next visit to the library.  
You can learn about the learning project below:

First graders at Muddy Brook Regional Elementary were inspired to create these wonderful sculptures after reading Maurice Sendak’s classic picture book Where the Wild Things Are.   Students sketched their creatures, then they made a final drawing on Scratch Art sparkle paper (on display at school).  It was challenging to create a three dimensional version of their monster from the Model Magic sculpting compound.  The children have shared information about their creatures.  Their delightful and creative spelling shows their emerging strengths as readers and writers.  We love sharing student art and learning with our community!  Love, Ms. B.
