Day of the Dead

First grade students listened to Felipa and the Day of the Dead by Birte Muller. Students created these skulls in honor of the holiday just like children in Latin America do.

Pumpkins

Kindergarten students mixed red and yellow to create an orange pumpkin. Then mixed yellow and blue to make green grass and a stem. Then mixed red and blue to create a violet sky. Students were also able to create an expression for their pumpkin.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Kindergarten students listened to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault. After the story, students painted the famous tree and used sticky foam letters to create their name climbing up the tree.

Autumnal Trees

First grade students listened to Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert and created these trees complete with all the colors of the season. The branches were created with a piece of cardboard and the leaves, by using a cotton swab.
