Ugly Dolls are coming alive in 2nd grade!

Grade 2 is learning sewing skills while creating "Ugly Dolls" 

(and sometimes cute ones).

Check out these works in progress... and finished samples below!

And here are some finished samples... 

These "Ugly Dolls" are all dressed and ready for fun! 

Rainforest Birds - 3rd Grade

Grade 3 created spectacular rainforest birds!
They used oil crayons to draw their birds and then watercolor marker, which was water sprayed for lush background effects.
Hear the tweets? 

Found a use for all those fallen-off brush tips. Sometimes I sneak in a project after hours 😊  This one was begging me to create!

Color Wheel Song

I've been trying to come up with a way to teach some basic color theory to my young students. While I'm not much of a song writer, this is my best attempt! 

The first stanza came from a video found on Pinterest and was extremely successful in teaching the primary colors!
