Now that we are in our second week of October we definitely felt it with our pumpkin and bat crafts this week. They turned out so wonderful!
Bat Directed Drawing
Every other week or so we do a directed drawing as a whole class. What that means is I sit at the front and using basic shapes I show them exactly how to draw a picture and they copy it down. So for example the bat one started with circle in the middle of the page, then 2 triangles coming out of the circle for ears and 2 rainbows one on each side for wings. It is a lengthy process where students really have to listen and follow directions! They have definitely improved on this as we have done more! Finally after we drew them, we colored them in with colored pencil and watercolored the background!Check out how great these are!

Bumpy Pumpkins
As we prepare to go to the pumpkin patch we discussed how different pumpkins can look from each other and created our own unique pumpkins! We started with an art activity where we painted papers orange and green. Then when they dried we used them to construct our pumpkins! Students loved getting to make them silly or scary or just happy! They really did amazing work and I love showing off their work in the hallway for the whole school to see :)

This week we will be looking more scientifically at how pumpkins grow, their parts and of course learn a fun new poem about pumpkins!
Stay tuned for more fun next week!
