Working with Clay

Our School Story

by Level A

Today, the students work with clay.

She is writing on the clay.


I see two cups with handles.
I see one woman. She is happy.



I see three women.
One woman is wearing a blue shirt.




I see two men.
One man is wearing a hat.






This is a present for teacher Andrea.
We wrote her name with clay.





I see many flowers from the garden.
First we scratch the clay.
Then we use glue to add flowers.



These students are making pencil holders.

Next week, we will paint.
