Learning about Renaissance Thinkers


To kick off our new ELA unit on Renaissance Thinkers, the kids learned about Michelangelo and how he was hired by the pope to paint the Sistine Chapel.  They then had the opportunity to see just how difficult that task must've been as they were given the opportunity to paint upside down on paper glued to the bottom of their desks!  The activity was a big hit, but I think everyone agrees that Michelangelo did not have an easy task!
