Polar Bear Directed Drawing
I wanted to do a concluding art project with our arctic animals unit, so we decided to do a directed drawing of a Polar Bear to include in students art portfolios. As with all our directed drawings students follow step by step directions to draw their picture. Then they trace over their lines with sharpie and finally we used oil pastels to color in the background to our pictures. They turned out so beautifully and make a great display in our classroom :)
Heart Glue and Watercolor Art
As a kick off to Valentine's Day students got to do a beautiful art project this week. I printed out a template with lines over the top of a heart. Students used black glue to trace the heart and I helped glue the rest of the lines. Once the glue dried students then used watercolors to make their hearts pop. Students had so much fun making these and they make our hallway ready for Valentine's Day! |

Independent Reading
As we inch closer and closer to our 100th day of school students are ready to be independently reading on their own in class. I made color versions of books that I usually send home from their reading groups and put them in blue book boxes for students to practice their reading during our reading centers time. I was blown away by how many students took advantage of those books! I saw so many students reading with a buddy helping each other figure out words they weren't sure of. It warmed my heart to see them working together! I am hoping this independent reading will also help encourage them to share their reading with you at home as well! |
