Our little Architects!

First Grade learned about a career in Art this week: an architect!  We read the book Iggy Peck Architect, and talked about all the way buildings can be unique through their architecture!  It was also a great chance to review skills like: shape knowledge, cutting and gluing.  Enjoy!

Throw Back Thursday!

As I was cleaning up my computer of unnecessary items I found a project that I never published from last year.  Last year 3rd grade worked long and hard on their Moroccan Tessellation Tile project using color pencils.  The students had to create their own stencils to create the shape of the tiles and then carefully traced them to make the intricate pattern.  I can't believe I never posted it!  The results were gorgeous!

Kindergarten Learns to Draw Cats!

In Kindergarten for the last few weeks we've been working on shapes and how to see shapes in the objects we wish to draw.  After reading Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses the kinders then learned how to find the shapes they saw in Pete.  They learned that cats could be drawn mostly with triangles.  The results are creative and dare I say it: adorable.
