Week of 5/8/2023 - Last rotation with UTK, K and 1st grade

 This week I saw UTK, Kinder and 1st grade students for the last rotation for the year!

UTK students created works inspired by the book "The Mixed Up Alphabet" by Steve Metzger. We read the book and discussed what would happen if the alphabets got mixed up and not in order. How would we sing the alphabet song? Students picked 8 foam letters in uppercase,  and glued them on their paper as they wished to, added a face, arms, legs and hats to each and used color pencils to color the background in different colors. They also added letters in lowercase using a chisel tip black Sharpie marker - oh the joy of introducing a "thick" Sharpie to 4 year olds!!!

Kindergarten students created a mixed media ice cream cone using how many ever scoops they wanted! Triangle for the cone with several organic shapes and colors for the scoops!!

 

1st Grade students created a color monster inspired by the book " Color Monsters" by Anna Llenas. We looked at what colors are used for what emotions. Students picked an emotion, created their own monster using a color they felt best suited their monster.
