Made by Clay

During our review of Unit 4 in reading, students applied their knowledge of idioms to an idiom clay activity.  First, we made our own "An Idiom a Day" flipbook.  After creating and sharing the flipbooks, students chose two of their favorite idioms.  Then, students were able to illustrate their two idioms with clay.  After the clay dried, students added the finishing touches with a dab of paint.  When dried, students were finally able to take them home in a decorated bag like the one above.  I wanted to snag a few pictures of their actual clay creations but my camera wasn't working!  But I'd have to say, those clay idioms were quite the thrill!
