We have been talking about
identity in our classroom, and I told the students about one of my favorite
memories as a child about growing up in a Ukrainian Canadian family and seeing
the stained glass windows when we went to church. Each different piece told a different story.
The students were asking about
what stained glass windows looked like, so we found pictures together on the
computer and in books. Liam said those look like pictures his family has! A few
of the pictures were mosaics, and the kids were enthralled by the stained glass
and the different mosaic pictures. They wanted to make one to tell a story! Together
we started hunting around the classroom and ECC for things we could make our
own mosaics from and we came up with what is here.
The kiddos made mosaics and stained glass out of geoboards, stickers, jewels, blocks...it has been lots of fun!
