with Ms. Lai & Ms. Loungsay
We have been busy collecting natural materials from our Parkcrest forest to make nature art! Our class made pinecone mobiles, nature mandalas (a circular art form that is made using different objects and natural materials) and bugs. As summer is just around the corner, we encourage all of you to continue to collect and create nature art!
In response to the book Ms. Lai read to the class, Share Your Rainbow, we created our own rainbows with crepe paper and used cotton for the clouds. The future is looking bright with these rainbows!
We took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent the afternoon drawing and painting with light and shadow!

Cherry blossoms are such a welcome sign of Spring. We are so fortunte to have beautiful white and pink cherry blossoms outside our school! Last week, we went outside and studied these trees.
We decided to paint some cherry trees. First, we painted a dark blackground. We used black and white with shades of gray. Next, we painted the wider tree trunks with thin tree branches. Finally, we used cotton swabs to create different colored cherry blossoms.

Since it did not snow as expected, we decided to make our own snow in the classroom!
We used shaving cream and white liquid glue. The students used their fingers to make snowballs and then they each made a snowman!
