Even though today is a little chilly, here are some spring flowers the students created for our windows. We created collages in either primary colours or secondary colours. We read the book 'Mouse Paint' to help solidify this knowledge of colour theory.
Students were able to choose their colour combination. Here is a primary colour tulip.
Secondary colours
Mosaics
The whole school is getting ready for our school wide mosaics. To practise, we used paper to create mosaics using simple line or shape. Can't wait for the real project to start! We have been very lucky to have parents in our community offer to help with donations of building/art materials.
True Flix
Many of my students are familiar with Book flix which allows our students to have free access to fictionalized stories and books. True Flix is similar in format but offers non-fiction subject matter. I showed the students how to use this free site and where to locate it. It is a great free source for those students who gravitate towards non-fictionalized reading material. Unfortunately I can't post a working link as you have to navigate from the home site. Here are instructions:
(Go to Florence Meares webpage and find elementary internet tools. Scroll to bottom, right hand side of the page and you will see an icon for True Flix. Your child has their 'log in' information on a sticker inside their agenda. This will grant you off school access. Enjoy!)
