Third graders began the year by creating collaborative sculptures of an animal of their group's choice. The challenge was to create one sculpture by multiple people with limited verbal communication, and to use basic materials (newspaper, masking tape, scissors) in new ways. Some techniques the girls explored were wrapping, crumpling, tearing, twisting, and rolling. Students named their creations and introduced them to the rest of the class. They presented problems they encountered and the solutions to their issues.
