Hibernation Presentations, Animal Art, 3-D Shapes
/Last week, the Whales had the opportunity to present their research and hibernation sites to preschool classes and parents. Before the presentations, they worked hard to add tiny details to their sites and took time to explore what it might feel like to become one of the animals they were studying. Students worked hard to memorize their research facts and presented them with confidence and grace. Our preschool classes remained rapt, and the presentations were a smashing success!
This week, Whales worked to finish their scientific illustrations of their hibernating animal. We used new artist’s techniques and explored new ways to use watercolor, colored pencil and crayon. Their work will be hung in the classroom next week. Make sure to stop by and take a look when you have time.
Along with Animals In Winter, the Whales have been doing a deep dive into 2-D and 3-D shapes. They had a Shape Factory at Engineering Carpet where they used Magna-Tiles and play dough to create whatever 3-D shapes Whale teachers challenged them to make.
A huge thank you to Mr. Mark for taking many of the the beautiful photos attached below.
