A Story + Art = A great stART!!!!
For our story this week, we read Chaucer's first Winter....so cute...about a bear cub who is supposed to be sleeping all winter but was so excited to see the snow that he stays up to play with his friends....
For our project this week...we did what I am now calling the reverse snowflake....sometimes I come up with projects on the spur of the moment...with the best intentions...that don't always work out as planned... anyway...the reverse snowflake... I had the girls fold and rip designs in a piece of paper...(FYI...this did not go well...)...then we used the "template" to cover a second sheet of paper..then used different shaped sponges to put paint on.... All in all...I think they had fun...and they came out cute... but the project definitely took a turn somewhere... :-)
Ready to get started...
The girls tearing their papers ....
