This is a photo of Olivia and her
collaged Sun. This artwork was created by
Olivia as a
response to the text ‘How Maui slowed the Sun’. Olivia worked
very hard all week and tore, glued, or tore and glued, every square of paper
used to make this collage. Even elements such as the eyes that are made of
three different shapes and the mouth full of teeth were all her work. The sun’s
rays were made by tracing around her hands. Initially we were going to have
other room 10 students help with the process but Olivia took such
ownership and pride in the project that it was all left up to her so that it
would remain all her’s. The Room 10 children were incredibly proud of Olivia’s
commitment to the project and perseverance over the course of the week. It
seemed a huge task at the start of the week but by Friday, Olivia had truly
produced something to be proud of and she was. At gathering yesterday Olivia received a
certificate for demonstrating our value of perseverance. She also demonstrated
commitment by committing to the task and seeing it through to completion. We
now have a beautiful piece of artwork in our classroom and it complements the
crayon and dye illustrations that were completed last week.
