The Kindergartners are working on their color theory unit.  Ask your Kindergartner what the primary colors are and how to make orange, green, and purple.  The students are making cityscapes based on pictures we looked at of New York (AM) or Chicago (PM).  The 1st graders and Mrs. Henk’s class just finished their desert landscapes with an emphasis on drawing texture.  They are now continuing texture with a polar bear project.  Ms. Sotelo’s class is continuing work on their desert landscapes.  The second graders are recreating Mt. Rushmore.  They learned about the making of the sculpture and where it can be found.  Do you know where it is located?  Ask a second grader! They also sketched each of the four presidents.  Next they will put the four faces together and create the texture of the rocks around the monument.  The third graders are finishing a snowflake project with and emphasis on radial symmetry.  They will next move into a guitar design, emphasizing symmetry and balance.
