Fifth Grade

Currently Working On

Fifth grade artists are completing a paper quilling project by rolling and shaping paper to design a flower. To wrap up the year and get ready for middle school, they will also create a drawing of what they imagine the inside of their locker will look like, with an option to design the outside if time allows. This project encourages creativity, planning, and personal expression.
