Kindergarten students are currently learning how to draw the parts of the face.  We have started making our self-portraits for the ME books we will bring home near the end of the school year.  First graders, Ms. Natoli’s students and Ms. Dressel’s students have created some adorable penguins. We followed step-by-step to “draw” the penguins with paint daubers (think bingo markers).  After they were dry, we cut them out and added some color to the hat and scarf. We then glued them to a background made of warm colored swirls. Second graders have created winter landscapes using colored pencils.  The students had to draw some things up close and some things far away. We also painted different shades of green for the evergreen trees. Third graders are finishing their self-portraits with kente cloth-inspired backgrounds.  Kente cloth is from Ghana in Africa.
