March 2018

​Kindergarten has been working on patterns for their “Me” book covers.  We laid different colored caps on the rug in patterns and then moved on to drawing patterns and using cut out shapes to make patterns.  We also learned how to glaze our pinch pots and boy, are they beautiful!  First graders and Ms. Dressel’s class are finishing up their self-portraits with yarn hair and a little “added paint” after reading I Ain’t Gonna Paint No More! by Karen Beaumont.  They have been studying themselves carefully in mirrors.  We also glazed our clay owls with warm or cool colors.  Ms. Dressel’s students glazed clay cupcakes with a 3-color color scheme.  Second grade classes are learning the difference between geometric and organic shapes and using them in their Olympic project.  They also glazed their clay butterflies to show symmetry.  Third graders used a chosen color scheme to glaze their clay fish.  They also wrapped up the last few details on their symmetrical/asymmetrical alien project.
