My grade 3/4 class was so excited to complete their
sports mural. My class loved to participate in sports and they wanted
to show the world how athletics could bring people together as a team.
They worked hard for several months planning on their mural design, but
they really didn't understand how large the mural would be. Once they
started working on the mural you could see the excitement in their faces.
The class was divided into six groups. Each group worked collaboratively
to bring their vision alive. It was beautiful to see the differences in
creativity among all the students. Everyone had something special to contribute
to the project. Once all of the sections of the mural were completed I
was ready to reveal how all the parts came together. Words cannot describe
my students' reactions. They were simply ecstatic! We displayed our completed
mural in the front foyer of our school. Parents, teachers and students
were able to share this wonderful experience with us. We hope to create
another mural next year.
Please keep us updated on this project. The students
and parents would like to follow the project all the way to Exhibition
Gala.
