  34. What is a mosaic? A decorative design or picture made by setting small colored pieces of stone, glass, pottery, etc., in mortar Each individual piece is called a tessera. The spaces in between the tesserae for the grout are called interstices.

  35. Candle Project • Acquire toilet tissue rolls or purchase similar rolls from Oriental Trading. • Have students cut out paper tesserae and glue on the rolls to make an attractive design. • Cover the completed tube with Mod Podge to give it a shine and to protect the design. Let dry for at least 15 minutes. • Using the template provided, cut a base out of card stock and hot glue the mosaic tube to it. • 5. Fill with candy. Encourage students to bring in some bags of candy (individually wrapped).

  36. Again, using the template provided, cut a top cover for the candle out of white paper (normal weight paper). Fit it to the tube and put a ribbon around it and tie a bow. • With an exacto knife, slit a hole in the center of top cover for the candle flame. Use the flame template, and cut a yellow cardstock flame. Simply insert the flame. It should stand on its own. Do not slit the hole too large! • Around the base with a colorful pen, put an appropriate Latin phrase at the top with its English translation at the bottom of the base. Here are a few suggestions: • AdesteFideles: O Come All You Faithful • Noxsilens! Sancta nox!: Silent Night! Holy Night! • Pax in Terra: Peace on Earth

  37. Deliver to teachers in your building, to a nursing home, a veteran’s hospital, etc. If given the chance, have your students talk about mosaics and how they are made, etc. • Any questions/concerns, contact • Sue Robertson • ktrobertson@verizon.net
