The result of all this hard work is truly spectacular! The mosaics were hung last week and students and parents are still marveling at them in the hallway. If you're at the school make sure you stop by the gym to see Ben Franklin and Rosa Parks in all their glory!
The fabulous mosaic's from last year's 5th graders are finally finished and on display in the hallway by the gym! It has been a long process. The tiles were all glazed by students from Ms. Steffen's class last year, but had to be fired, and then reglazed with a clear protective coat and then fired again. After all that I had to build frames to hold the murals and then apply tile glue while making sure everything was evenly spaced. Finally I rubbed grout (kind of like cement) into the cracks between the tiles and polished it all off with a big thick sponge.
