Weaving like the Hopi People

5th grade students were studying Native Americans last semester, so we learned about the Hopi People and the art of basket weaving. Using yarn and recycled plastic cups, they designed and created their own little baskets. Beautiful results, and so much fun :-)

Plastic Cup Fence Flag

Last year for Dominican Independence day (27th of February), 5th grade students created a beautiful flag on the chain link fence using recycled plastic cups. First, they collected all the cups. They later painted them in teams (red, white and blue) and finally set them up on the chain links. Great project, so much fun :-D
