Spring Dragonfly Art

With spring weather arriving this week, we took down our winter snowflakes and made a spring art project that focused on warm and cool colors.  The students first drew the zoomed in flower and then the dragonfly in the middle.  After tracing it in permanent marker, the students chose where to place the warm colors and where to place the cool colors.  We added some crayon accents before using our watercolors.  These projects are so beautiful and full of color!

Happy Snowmen

The 2nd graders brought the snow with this happy snowman art project!

Fall Trees

This week we finished up this beautiful fall tree art project.  I love this project so much because the colors are stunning and each project is unique in its own way!

What Turns You into a Crankenstein?

This week we read the book "Crankenstein" by Samantha Berger.  This funny book follows a boy as he shares what makes him terribly cranky!  We all have a few things that can make us terribly cranky.  The students shared all their different ideas.  Our next step was to make our own Crankenstein.  Next week we will complete this project with writing about what turns each of us into a Crankenstein.  They did a fantastic job creating their Crankensteins!  I love how unique each one is!
