Week 2

Starting off the week by facing my mural fear! Pumping up for a Red Grooms collage portrait for 2nd grade! Last, but not least so excited as a mom ...my son walked to me for the first time! He turned 1 last week :-) have a wonderful week!

2nd Grade- Pinch & Coil in one

The clay lady has a flower pot project which includes pinch pot on the bottom with a row of coil designs on top. I used air dry clay and I'm happy to say that I only touched the clay during the teacher check to smooth pieces together. The previous class students used crayola modeling clay to practice making their designs. :-)

2nd Grade - Jungle Enviornment

Each student created a jungle inspired leaf and animal for a group collaboration mural. On Safari Montage we learned all about jungles and rainforest!

A Bad Case of Stripes!

2nd Grade Self- Portraits

This week 2nd graders will be watching the narration of The Bad Case of Stripes By David Shannon. The website www.storylineonline.net has different celebrities that narrate different stories.

I also plan on using When Pigasso met Mootisse for K and Sophie's Masterpiece for weaving projects for 1st.

Chuck Close

This was from my student teaching in 2007. Each student was given a small square and had to reproduce the same image onto a large square.
