The lesson taught by Jackie Eikamp and Kirsten Cronin was stepping stones. They made us bring in a photo that meant a lot to us previously. They laminated them for us as well. During our lesson, we were instructed to shake the cement around in our container to get all of the air bubbles out. We had to draw out a rough sketch of what we wanted to do. After we had our sketch done, we had to place paper towels on our cement to soak up any excess water. We then had to place the picture and decorate however we wanted our stepping stone to be. They taught us mosaic, balance, and other different designs. My design was balanced because I had the same things on both sides of my stepping stone.
For an extension activity, I would have students decorate a garden area that was allowed by the principal. They could plant a flower and then would be responsible for the growth of their plant. After each week, they would have to measure their plant/flower to chart the growth of it. Students would get a math lesson as well as a science lesson integrated into this. They would use their stepping stones as a decoration for the classroom’s garden.
