The Kindergarteners have practiced drawing and cutting out shapes with a “house” project. We looked at illustrations in the book Ship Shapes by Blackstone. The students have cut out and made houses with squares, rectangles and triangles. To finish the projects we will be painting the sky and water with reflections of the houses. The first graders are creating lighthouse sculptures after learning about lighthouses in a YouTube video. Ask your first graders what a sculpture is. The second graders, Mrs. Sotelo’s class and Mrs. Henk’s class are creating Native American weavings. They should be able to tell you what over and under mean. The second graders are now beginning Native American kachina doll sculptures. The third graders are finishing up Winslow Homer-inspired seascapes. Ask your third grader what foreground, middle ground, background and horizon line mean.
