We made Earth Day Glyphs in April! Didn't they turn out cute??
This year our art projects were mostly glyphs or something educational to go along with our current curriculum study. 
The butterflies were from Pinterest! I would like to adapt them next yeat to go along with our reading and science, but math was different.
Cute bunnies were everywhere this year for Easter. I have made these cupcakes for years with my class and this year was no exception. I bake the cupcakes at home then give every child a plain cupcake (my gluten free student received a rice crispy cake it worked great!). They had a spoon full of white frosting, three jelly beans, a bunny shaped "Peep", and some green coconut. To dye the coconut you just put some coconut into a ziplock bag and add a couple of drops of green food coloring, then shake. They turned out adorable and the kids love putting them together themselves, but they love eating them even more!
We also made some bunny glyphs. I know I have really been into glyphs this year. We have made one each month and the kids have loved them. This glyph I did not make a pattern for every piece. The glyph calls for different heads based on their answers, so I traced a lid for the round, hand drew a heart for the heart shaped heads, and drew an oval for the kids who had oval heads. That kept the class from making tiny bunnies. They had different shaped bodies, round or long and skinny. The baskets were in different hands with different amounts of eggs based on answers. A carrot or tulip was in the rabbits hand. Bow on head for girl, under chin for boy. 
I made mine while I was having them make their own and demonstrated how to draw the arms, face, ears, etc. They really like to do it all on their own. Didn't they turn out awesome? I really liked the oval headed bunny with the tiny body mixed in with the others. It reminded me of a cartoon character. 
I will have to pull out my glyph and put the questions on here to share with everyone. Look for an update soon! |

We celebrated Friday with treats made by Miss Landrith. Aren't they adorable! They tasted great too! We made glyphs after reading Dr. Seuss's One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. They turned out so cute!  |

| Bought the glyph from TPT Glyph Girls! Turned out very Cute... don't you think? |
We read The Lorax and talked about what lesson the Once-ler was trying to teach the reader.Thekids then wrote paragraphs to explain the lesson and then wrote what they could do to help the environment, what Kansas could do and what the world could do to help. Then we drew the Lorax together. Usually when I teach them how to draw I walk them through how to draw it step by step. For instance, the top of his head should be in the middle of the page and it is a half circle, then I told them that the eyes were ovals that were tilted... They love it when I do this and the results were awesome! They have to color the whole page with very little white. We used our classroom set of new markers and the colors really pop! What do you think? |
