Mosaic Mural P2

Today 4th grade purple participated in the second part of the Mosaic Mural (first part and description about the project can be found in earlier posts - October 2015).

For the second part, students got to start applying tiles to the wooden slabs that will create our Under the Sea mosaic mural - a project done in conjunction with Gaslini Children's Hospital.  The students had a lot of fun learning how to apply tiles to the wood (using LOTS of glue) and how to ensure the tiles are straight and not too close to the edges.  It was also interesting to learn which side of the tile goes face down, a surprising fact to Ms Simonsen.

Thank you Ms Stacey for all your hard work on this project.  To find out more about her organization please go to: http://www.apatchworks.org/
