Senior Kindergarten Study of Bolivia and the Potato Printing Project

Senior Kindergarten is learning about Bolivian culture and potatoes are native to that country. We designed a collaborative unit where the librarian read The Potato King to the students. In technology time the students designed cookie cutters using cookiecaster.com and the. We 3D printed them to turn them into potato stamps. The students cut shapes out of potatoes using their stamps and made patterns with paint, which is a math concept being practiced this month.
