The third and fourth graders recently completed making their clay soul shakers. A soul shaker is a clay rattle that has personal meaning to the artist. The students learned about rattles around the world and through-out time. They were able to identify the use of rattles for ceremonies, music, entertainment, and to occupy a baby or child. Students designed a variety of clay rattles after learning the steps to construct a usable clay rattle. Some students created human or animal-themed soul shakers while other decorated their rattles with various lines and patterns. We will be glazing our soul shakers towards the end of next week. Stay posted for pictures.
