Happy Thanksgiving!

We created some Thanksgiving turkey paintings this week!

We used Fall colors to paint the turkey’s feathers, and then added triangular shapes for the turkey’s beak.

Turkey fact:  The fleshy bit hanging off of a turkey’s beak is called a “snood”.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving long weekend!  See you on Tuesday.

 

 

 

Cherry Blossoms

As cherry trees are bursting with pink and white blooms all over the city, the kindergarten students created their own cherry blossom paintings.  To add a fluffy texture to our paintings, we used cotton balls, held by clothespins, to paint the cherry blossoms.

First, we painted our backgrounds and trees.

Then, we used cotton balls to add the cherry blossoms.  We used darker pink colors first, and then used the lighter pinks on top. Some students chose to add white cherry blossoms as well.

Come see our hallway bulletin board!

Feb 28th Pink Shirt Day

On February 28th, we encourage everyone to wear pink.  By wearing pink, we are promoting kindness and friendship, and standing up to bullying.  The original story behind Pink Shirt Day can be found here:  The Pink Shirt Day story
