Butterflies

2nd graders folded black construction paper in half and designed ½ a butterfly along the middle fold.  Then students reversed the fold, used their hands to rub on top of the paper, and then opened the papers to reveal a faint symmetrical image to trace for their butterfly’s other side.  

 

 

 2nd grade also designed symmetrical butterflies using crayons and markers.

 

 

  

Window Flowers

3rd grade created large window frames and then added a wooden flower box with growing green stems. After decorating warm colored paper with paint, students then cut out and glued on flower blossoms. 

  

Houses

2nd grade used details to design the inside of a house.

Minions

1st grade students used crayons to draw two minion characters, and then filled them in using yellow chalk.

 

 

 

Rain Umbrellas

2nd grade students made pattern umbrellas in the rain by first using eye droppers to splatter watered down blue ink onto their white paper background.  Then using markers, students decorated their umbrellas, raincoat and boots.
