Kindergarten will be reading the most beloved book, "Snowmen at Night" by Caralyn Buehner. We will then learn about shadows and dry brush technique to create our watchful, nighttime snowmen. Considering all of the snow we have been getting lately I think this project will really be a hit with my creative kindergartners. :)
First grade will learn how to break down everyday objects to simple shapes. After we learn how to identify shapes in everyday objects we will be able to paint beautiful red cardinals in snow.
Second grade will learn about the components of landscapes. We will then paint our beautiful birch tress against a warm or cool tissue paper collage background. Second grade will also study Gustav Klimt's "Birch Forest" in order to learn more about Birch trees, as well as landscapes.
