Although we lost a day because of hurricane Sandy, 5th grade still managed to make really great initial stamps. Students were instructed to create a letter stamp based on an initial of someone that is important to them (or themselves). The letter should be specially designed for that person by making a funky font. We practiced "fancy" fonts, "old fashion" fonts, and "artistic" fonts, to develop something original. The final day was an extravaganza of printmaking! I only had two brayers so students were amazingly patient and kind while waiting their turn. Even though it was a bit rushed, i think it was a great experience!
