5th Grade Favorite Memory

I like to do a memory-inspired project with the 5th graders to give them an opportunity to reflect on their elementary experience. Because the 2nd Grade Animal Habitats were so successful, we used a similar technique for these mixed-media pieces. 

1. Brainstorm. Write down 3 favorite memories. 

2. Create a little human out of air-dry clay. 

Note: we practiced with modeling clay first!

3. Paint mini person

4. Create mixed media background for memory

I encouraged the kids to include at least 3 details to their setting. The viewer should be able to identify the season your memory occurred (if outdoors), the time of day, and a general idea of location. 

5. Glue on little clay human

6. Write a description of your memory and glue it to the back.
