Dia De Los Muertos Printmaking

We had a fabulous time in 3rd grade learning about the Mexican Halloween tradition of Dia De Los Muertos. We were able to learn some new Spanish words and become more culturally aware. We also learned about printmaking and we made our own prints with a Dia De Los Muertos theme!

Halloween Shrunken Heads!

Our Halloween Shrunken heads were part triumph and part tragedy. Tragically, about 70 percent of our heads got really moldy so we had to throw them out! Now we know that green apples work the best for this project. However, we had great success with our other apples, which actually dried out really cute. We had draculas, goblins, ogres, pirates and witches. Hopefully we can do this project again this year without mold because we had a great time making our apples.

6th Grade Egyptian Gods and Goddesses

In 6th grade, we just finished our unit on Ancient Egypt. We learned about Egyptian painting styles and created our own self-portrait as an Egyptian god or goddess.

5th Grade Colonial Silhouettes

In Fifth Grade we are studying the 13 colonies. We learned that in colonial times, painters were in short supply, so most people cut silhouettes out of paper to create a portrait of a person. We traced our own silhouettes and made a modern-day portrait to show the things that we enjoy most.

Hide and Seek Ghosts

Halloween is almost here! In first grade we played hide and seek ghosts. We drew our ghosts on white paper with a white crayon and then we painted over them with watercolor paints to make them magically appear. We had so much fun!
