My second-fifth graders are working hard creating heart magnets for sale to raise money for the art department. I am loving them!! First students are learning about the heart paintings by Jim Dine, then they are designing their own heart. I am using recycled cardboard for the hearts and I bought pre-cut magnets with adhesive backs to make life easier and then I am putting Mod-Podge on them to make them shiny. I hope that for a dollar each magnet get sold. I am planning to buy digital cameras to incorporate photography skills into the lessons. Here is one class' magnets. I love how everyone created something different and unique! I got the idea from a blog I saw earlier-I am sorry I don't remember the name, but they created houses and used scrap paper. Same principle different materials. So far so good and I will let everyone know how the fundraiser goes. Happy creating!
