| The 6th grade students are currently creating stamps based on Adinkra symbols. The students learned about ancient West African tribes and modern countries Sierra Leone and Ghana. We also studied different Adinkra symbols and cloth. The students then created two stamps influenced by Adinkra symbols. One stamp is to represent a trait that express who they are now, the other is to represent a trait that they wish to have in the future. Each student then creates a pattern and print it on their selected cloth. Check back soon to see student examples. |

While driving around Albion ask your child to show you some of examples of the illusions of Depth.
EC Option 1: Use different object to recreate the alphabet.

For this unit on the Middle Ages the students had the option to create a traditional Illuminated letter or put a modern spin on lettering in a zentangle or descriptive letter. See if you can tell which students picked which project.
