Mosaics

2nd Grade used up lots of paper from my scrap box to celebrate earth day with some beautiful paper mosaics.

Word Palette

Much more fun than a "word wall." I color coded the words to the colors I use for each grade so that when a lesson is over, I can easily spot and take down the key words and add the new ones. I sketched the shape on bulletin board paper and then cut away the palette to show the brown cork underneath. The letters are hand written with a thick marker, but you could cut them out if desired.

I saw a similar bulletin a few months ago on pinterest but apparently didn't pin it! If it was you, I'd love to give credit. Let me know who you are!

Imagine Dragons, Part 2

Second Grade finished their scratch art dragons. We were able to add landscape vocabulary to round out this project. After students colored a landscape background and glued their dragon they were invited to add fire. Using straws they blew orange paint from the dragons nose/mouth. They had so much fun.
