As a class, kindergartens read aloud a 3D Shape poem to help them remember and identify names of 3D shapes. Then students came up and circled different sight words! We have great readers in kindergarten!

Kindergarten Found Object Winter Collages
Kindergarten students used different two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) shapes that can be found in everyday life in order to create a winter lanscape scene. They identified whether things were 2D (flat) or 3D (not flat ) and reused these recyclable objects to create a winter scene. Try to identify what common every day objects you can see in their collages.

2nd Grade Symmetrical Balanced Reflection Landscapes
Second grade students analyzed different images and determined a common theme of both symmetrical balance and landscapes. Students identified different things in everyday life that can be considered symmetrically balanced and observed that when a landscape is next to water, there is a reflection which can give the illusion of symmetrical balance. Students created their own landscape using the collage technique using hand painted/textured paper to cut into different parts of their world. They first began by creating their own mountains using a "butterfly print". They added different natural features and landforms by cutting and combining basic geometric and organic shapes.

Fourth grade Chesapeake bay paintings with poems and artists at work!
Fourth grade students learned about Haiku poems and were inspired by an opening activity to this unit in order to write a poem. Students had visualized themselves swimming in the bay and then described their mood while swimming in the bay. They then wrote a haiku poem to describe their mood. More poems to come!
