I started teaching K-8 students in 2009. I have already learned so much and know I will continue to learn each and every day. I hope you find my blog entertaining, educational, and inspirational.
I read the book, "Journey on a Cloud" to the kids. It is about Marc Chagall and ROCKS! The students made paintings of themselves on a cloud traveling anywhere they would want to go in the world. These turned out GREAT!
I saw these adorable snowmen somewhere online and had to do them. The 5th grade loved this project and I quickly learned that there was a good portion of the students that did not know what a profile was. So, this lesson paid off!
Inspired by marymaking these ADORABLE Olivia/Oliver drawings turned out awesome. We read Olivia and were inspired by her trip to a museum. Since the 2nd grade studied Degas last year we chose to stick with Jackson Pollock for our artist. Great work, Nick!
These beautiful sunflowers were inspired by Van Gogh and the book, "Camille and the Sunflowers." The books tells a story of Van Gogh and is REALLY cute. The kids did awesome!
With the holidays and craziness at school I have been HORRIBLE about keeping this up to date! Here are a few Kinder projects we have been doing. I will keep adding things as I edit photos. Thanks for visiting.
Learning to draw a Hot Chocolate mug. SO CUTE! We added mini marshmallows for the final touh...
We read several Elmer books. The kinders learned about patchwork, collage, cutting, and gluing. Adorable elephants and jungles!
Kindergarten read "Aliens Love Underpants" (SUPER cute book). We made aliens and unders to put on the alien. SUCH a cute project. The other photo below is 1st grade salmon inspired by the book "Wow! America!" I hope you enjoy them!
