Kindergarten Reading Buddies

This past week our class got together with Mrs. Reed's kindergarten class. Each student was paired up with a kindergarten student. We will go each week to read with our kindergarten buddies. It was so nice seeing the students reading together.

Paper Lanterns

For the next week and a half our school is so lucky to have teaching artist, Gowri Savoor, here working with us to create paper lanterns. Today our class began working on our paper lanterns. We started by planning a winter scene that we wanted to sketch on our lanterns. We were directed to keep the sketches simple since we would be adding color with watercolor paints. We then got a lesson on how to use the watercolors. It was recommended that we first add the color, then use a watery brush to spread the color, and then a paper towel to remove the access water. The results were beautiful! Today was only the beginning. Our class will continue work on our lanterns on Friday during our regular art class. On Wednesday, February 10th at 4:40 families are invited to come to ABS for a small lantern parade through the halls. The students are so excited to show off their work.
