No third party apps will be used except for Youtube for summary videos. Parents will be needed during this class-for the first week to help the student with practice assignments and for the mache project. Please check the class wall, student spiral, and your parent inbox regularly. This class involves the student making a paper mache hive. They are many different recipes to make paper mache. I will provide a how to link and video, but you can use whatever method you prefer. The student will need help to make the mache hive because of the supplies needed. Some use a hot glue gun and various types of glues, so please supervise.
