Fall Watercolor Trees

It was time for the quarterly behavior celebration, and I had the art club as usual. I found this idea on this website. A perfect fall project, and they turned out amazing (especially since I had 5 kindergarteners in my group - yikes!).

Third Grader

Kindergartener

The whole group!

Art Club - Painting

I saw this idea on this blog: http://lostpersonshomeschool.blogspot.com/2011/01/winter-art.html

I had to adapt a bit for my age group (I had k-5 all at once). So I put the tape on for the trees ahead of time. We talked about painting the "negative" and they really enjoyed using the watercolors. They turned out great!

Halloween Spiders

We did rotating classes this morning - third through fifth grades. I decided to do a craft... We made these spiders with pipe cleaners and pony beads. The kids loved them and they turned out great!

Pasta Skeletons

This is sonething I've done for all ten years I've taught third grade. I love teaching the skeletal system around Halloween - it just works! It's nice to take a little break from the daily routine to have an artsy moment (although this always reminds me why I hate white glue!). We had a half day this week so it was perfect for doing this project. They turned out cute as always!
