First graders have been thinking about helping in art. They told stories about times they helped others and times others helped them. During these discussions they noted that at times everyone needs help in one way or another. They designed and constructed low relief cardboard and wood sculptures of helping robots or machines, that have special parts to perform special actions. Ask your first grader what special parts her creation has, and whom it is designed to help. Girls will use paint and hand tools to add finishing touches to their constructions.
