All about Winter

This week we did lots of winter activities focusing on Elves and learning about Hibernation. We will be doing more winter themed activities leading up to winter break that use all of the different skills we have learned so far this year. It should be lots fun :)

Elf Directed Drawing

Like all of our directed drawings students started by drawing their elves (following step by step directions). Then we traced our lines in sharpie and finally colored in our pictures. We used watercolors as our art medium this time. Students spent over 45 minutes on these, I was amazed at their focus and desire to make them look just right! I am so proud of how they turned out. Here are a few photos of the process:

Hibernation Writing

Our winter poem for the week is called Winter's Here and it talks about animals that hibernate during the winter. We then took what we knew about hibernation to write about it in our journals. I was so impressed by students diligence and desire to get their writing just right. They have come so far from the beginning of the year!

Bears hibernate in the winter.

This student wanted to write "The bears hibernate in the winter."

 Sorry I don't have more this week. We have been so busy that I have totally forgot to take pictures! Only 10 school days until winter break!
