Third grade students have also been focusing on biomes, taking a deep dive into the ecosystem of a coral reef. Students have been using cardboard, newspaper, tape, and paper mache to build different types of coral. Some of the types students have selected are: bubble coral, staghorn coral, and tube coral. Once the coral structure (armature) was built, we used paper maché glue and shredded newspaper to create a thick paper and glue shell. Students put 1-2 layers of newspaper, and then the final layer was colored construction paper and glue. This allowed the projects to have a bright final color before moving onto other materials. Third grade students had to choose a warm or cool color scheme for their coral. Stay tuned for the final products!
