Arctic Animals

We had a great day wrapping up our unit of arctic animals (penguins and polar bears).  We experimented with "blubber", finished up our informational writing, and created penguins out of different shapes. It was a fun day!  

Snowy Day Pointillism

We learned about the artist Seurat last week.  The kids enjoyed learning about his art and his original technique of using little tiny dots to create a picture.  After learning about this artist and technique, and seeing some of his famous paintings.  The kids created their own painting using this famous technique.  We all love how they turned out.  

Snowy Day Word Groups

We came up with a list of snowy day words as a class.  The next day, I gave them paper to put the words into smaller groups.  They did AWESOME!!
