Second Grade: 1st NINE Week Wrap up

Oh my! Its been over a month since I have posted anything. I have been a little overwhelmed with the beginning of the school year. I think I am a little caught up now.

The second Graders finished up their fish and monster projects. Most of them turned out pretty well.
They were having a hard time understanding that the fish are suppose to be the primary and secondary colors. They also kept forgetting that they were suppose to mix the secondary color.

They were also learning about Jacob Lawrence. They had a chance to make on of his paintings. They did not  use paint, I had them use oil pastels. We talked about he told any stories through his paintings. So we did the same We wrote stories about something that happened in our lives and they we illustrated it. They had to write and illustrate the story first, then they could use the oil pastels and redraw their illustration on a bigger paper.
