The Whale Project '99! Outside we drew the outline of the blue whale on the asphalt parking lot with big, thick chalk. |
 |
We even tried to do the fins! |
 |
Painter's plastic is used (only 12' wide) and has to be taped together to cover an entire whale. |
 |
Ami making sure there are no holes. |
 |
Everyone needs to hold down the plastic, especially in the wind we were facing! |
 |
Brett and Dustin were in charge of getting the fan ready! |
 |
The plastic was bunched up and carried outside. This was a change from previous years in that we used to roll it up, then carry it out. The bunching really saved a lot of holes from appearring. |
 |
Students in Mrs. Hegler's class were comparing the length and other features of the various whales. |
 |
Mrs. Hegler developed a new session for this year. The students made a strip of paper the exact length of different kinds of whales. The strips were then taped to the wall in the hall to give students a view of the lengths of these beautiful creatures. |
 |
Brittany and Kalli show off their whale artwork! |
 |
Getting instructions for the final step! |
 |
Mrs. Hegler, Mrs. Burbach, Ms. Rickertson, and Ms. Brown enjoying the day. (Ms. Rickertson was a student teacher with Mrs. Hegler & Mr. Bade) |
 |
Being inside helped us make sure that the wind was not going to destroy our creation! |
 |
The final project turned out well! The tail didn't quite inflate fully, but pretty close! |
