Week of October 4- 8

This week the second grade students started their Egyptian collars for the upcoming "Temples and Tombs" performance.  Students used geometric shapes to create patterns on the borders of the collars.  All of the collars will include students' names in heiroglyphics.
While learning about organic shapes, the first grade students collected maple and dogwood leaves to trace.  Everyone loved picking up leaves with beautiful colors and interesting shapes.  We looked closely at the shapes and the veins of the leaves.  Next week we are going to finish coloring in the leaves with warm colors and paint over the drawing with cool colors.
