![]() The students did a great job with their cards and I really hope you enjoyed them. We then moved on to our Valentines Day cards. The first grade classes started out the third quarter by making a few kinds of snowmen, where they were able to practice cutting. We finished up the nine weeks by making Easter cards! I hope you enjoyed them! Many of them are in the hall on display at this time. The students made rainbow wreaths using their own hand prints. Patrick's Day came along at a perfect time because we were just starting to learn about the color wheel and therefore we were able to combine our learning about rainbows with our learning about the color wheel. ![]() The students learned about the saying “March came in like a lamb and went out like a lion.” Students then traced their hand print and turned it into a lamb. We used paint and our hands to create this project. At the beginning of March, the weather started to change so we did a project about the 4 seasons of the year. The students made Valentines Cards for their special someone at home. This project was inspired by the book Snowballs by Lois Ehlert. Their favorite snowman was the one where they used different materials around the room to create the snowman. They practiced cutting snowmen as well as tearing snowmen. The students enjoyed making a couple different types of snowmen over the past few weeks. The Kindergarten classes have been busy working on their fine motor skills, and eye/hand coordination. We do lots of singing throughout this program and we dance quite a bit too! The students have greatly enjoyed this program thus far. This program integrates music and movement with reading skills. During the past nine weeks, we have integrated a new program called ABC Music and Me. We made color wheel caterpillars, which are in the hall on display at this time. Students learned what colors we mix together to make new colors. Over the past few weeks, we have started to explore the color wheel. Patrick's Day, the students made rainbows and necklaces out of fruit loops. We learned about the saying “March came in like a lamb and went out like a lion.” The students then made lambs as a class. We watched a short movie based on colors and shapes as well to enhance the students learning. The students learned about shapes and colors during this period. ![]() They also learned how to make snowflakes while using scissors and then they made a snowman from there snowflakes. We did a torn snowman where the students learned how to make shapes without using scissors. We have mainly focused on tracing, cutting, and our coloring skills. The Kindergarten Junior class has been very busy the past nine weeks practicing lots of important art concepts. ![]()
