Lexi's favorite art project this year has been her snowflake water color. She folded her paper into fourths, and then with white crayon drew snow flakes all over the paper. Then she used water colors to paint each quarter of the paper with a different color.
Miles' favorite art project and writing piece this year was his own version of the story "The Mitten." He wrote about losing his yellow mitten outside, and about three animals that decided to crawl inside. Then he got to weave his own mitten, and make the animals he included in his story out of paper to put inside his mitten.
Kaden's favorite writing piece and art project this year was his turkey writing as well. Not only did he get to disguise his turkey so Farmer Brown couldn't find him, but he also wrote a very convincing letter to Farmer Brown about why he shouldn't be eaten.
Mia really liked her letter to Farmer Brown. We have been practicing persuasive paragraphs the past couple weeks, and had a turkey unit since it was close to Thanksgiving. Each student pretended they were a turkey, and wrote a letter to Farmer Brown persuading him to not eat them. Then they disguised their own turkey to glue to the top of their writing.
