Last week, Pond Gap SHADES students made self portraits using clay! We've had a great couple of weeks learning about ourselves and about our peers!

Pond Gap SHADES students are learning about working as a team with our team drawing challenge! Students were challenged to create a drawing using one marker with each student controlling a different string!

For our activity at Pond Gap yesterday, students paired up again to paint each other's portraits!

Students took turns being the painter and the subject. The subject would hold up a piece of clear acrylic plastic while the painter would paint their faces on the plastic. When the painting was complete, the subject would press the paint onto a piece of paper like a print! 🖌️🎨

Pond Gap SHADES students did a great job with our team builder today! We froze a bunch of t-shirts and challenged our students to work with a partner to get it unfrozen and put it on! 🤣🧊👕
