Jesus is born on Christmas!

We made pictures of baby Jesus. It was so much fun making them. We made them by using pencil, paper, pastels, watercolor and rock salt. Our Art House teacher showed us how to draw Jesus in the manger. Then we colored him with pastels. Then we outlined him in black pastel. Finally we painted over it with watercolor. Then our teachers dropped salt on the paper and it made cool stars. I love mine and am going to hang it up for Christmas.

Santa and Rudolph

Some of us made Santa with some paper, a cotton ball and a doily. It was a lot of fun. We had to a write a story as if we were Santa. We also to use an interesting beginning sentence. We had to use our best handwriting and to tell the story of how our reindeer, Rudolph, saved Christmas.

The rest of us did Rudolph. We made him with paper, and a red pom pom ball. We also used paint. We told his story as if we were him and I think that it was a lot of fun. Stories are more interesting when they are told by the character. I loved it. By: Cat

Snowman Clocks!

 This week we started to talk about time. We remembered what we did in first grade and showed Miss Crowley what we know. Then we did centers. One center was on ST MATH, one was practicing subtraction and the last center was making a time snowman. His body was a clock and his hat showed the time on his hat. We loved making them! By: Puppy

Native Americans

The past two weeks we learned about Native Americans. Some people called them Indians, but they like to be called Native Americans. We got split into groups and we each got to learn about a tribe. We had to find information about each tribe and then make a poster. It was sort of hard but we had a lot of fun. Then we got to share them with our class. We weren’t allowed to read off our poster, but we had to teach the class all about our tribe. We learned a lot!! By: Raccoon
