A challenge for second grade!!

     The second graders have been working so hard in creating several types of value scales.  They have used a variety of mediums including pencil, pen, tempera paint, oil pastel, and colored pencil.  They have been practicing diligence and focus while building a foundation to tackle upcoming projects using the lightness and darkness of a color or hue!!!

Gratitude!

 The first graders are learning that Sunflowers painted by Vincent Van Gogh was meant to symbolize gratitude. They made the connection of gratitude between their gratitude journals they have started and the symbolism of sunflowers. They will begin a replica of Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh in the coming weeks!!
