Giraffes - learning complementary colors

Mrs. Davies & Mrs. Cern's 1st Grade class learned about complementary colors!  They followed Miss Tara's directed draw to create adorable giraffes!
  The kids used oil pastels for the giraffe and Chalk pastels for the background color.

Examples from 2014-2015









Apple Stamping and Basket Weaving

Today we talked about apples!
 First I taught them the song....sung to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
     "Apple, apple tree so tall,
       I can hardly wait til fall,
       When your apples I can pick,
       Fill my basket, eat them quick!
       Apple, Apple tree so tall,
       I can hardly wait til Fall!"
*perfect song I think since Fall weather doesn't truly come to our parts in September...and TK & K do apple projects in September. :)
 
First we made baskets and learned how to weave the paper!  Then we stamped the apples!
Examples from Mrs. Perry's TK class 2015-2016
