As part of the plan this year during Islamic art month grades 2nd - 8th practiced on creating calligraphy. We started with just simple lines and the direction of the pen but tracing a design gave us the best results. Most of the kids had never used the 2 dimensional pens so it was a bit hard for some. We will keep working on this skill every month until the pens totally give out. The 1st and Kindergarten used a wax resist then painted their letters in. They were excited to making a special message.
Our last project was to make sheep for the party on the last day of school. The 3rd grade shows off the design.
