Day 21, First Day in Clay

On this fine day I am starting a lesson near and dear to my heart, with a third grade class we are starting a lesson called Experiencing Clay Vessels.  I showing the kids what they can make with a ball of clay.  We are using an oil based clay that will allow them to work the clay over and over because it will never dry.  I promised them that they would be able to take the clay home to make things out of it at their own convenience after I was finished teaching the lesson.  This particular lesson I gauged would take about two days.
