Pumpkins, Apples, Data Collection and Bar Graphs!
/The Whales have had so much fun this week! We have been scientists, noticing and recording tiny details in the fall splendor around us. We spent time noticing even the smallest things about our pumpkins and apples, drawing, painting, measuring and recording what we saw. We studied the art of Matisse and Cezanne and noticed the way both artists used shape, color, light and shadow to make their still life paintings “pop” off the page. We tried using new techniques with oil pastel and watercolor to make gorgeous apple still life paintings!
Ms. Abby taught us all about graphing and data collection. We learned how to create tally charts, bar graphs and pie charts. Through our graphs, we were able to quickly see important information about our Whale community, like what pets we have at home and what our favorite type of apple is!
Whales are amazing mathematicians, scientists, artists and friends!
