Love these congruent shapes on the geoboard!
We had a great time with Ms. Shauna Lee in art class learning about washes and silhouettes. They made some beautiful winter scenes... but we got so busy I forgot to take pictures of the final products!
We also did an art/writing project in class based on Dr. Seuss's book, My Many Colored Days. We got nice and messy creating art work based on feelings inspired by color! The kinders created some really great writing to go along with their artwork, on display in the hallway.
Leprechaun mania began in earnest on Monday. The kids wrote "I feel lucky when..." stories and made little lucky leprechauns! Once again it was fun to see how they each added a unique touch to their creations!
We made rainbow cookies on Friday, to use for bait in our leprechaun trap (with a few extra for us to eat. 👍 )
We worked on color mixing. It was fun to discover how to make the rainbow colors from primary colors with dough!
"Look! It's turning GREEN!"
The kids earned another party, so we got out the bouncy house and celebrated St. Patrick's Day! They did a guided drawing of a leprechaun, ate rainbow cookies, and BOUNCED!
To end the week, we set up a trap for our friendly neighborhood leprechaun.
Ms. Amy helped the girls write a very polite note to ask if the leprechaun could "please give us some of his gold. Thank you." We'll just have to wait and see if we catch one!!!
Have a happy and very lucky Spring Break!
