Well, we are back to THURSDAY!!!!! And SUNSHINE!

Well, we are back to THURSDAY!!!!! And SUNSHINE!

It has been warming up outside, hope you are getting out for a bike ride, a walk or to play in the yard. I am riding my bike everyday and I am enjoying the spring growth popping up in my flower beds. Saw a few flowers and that makes me happy!

I was thinking it might be cool to draw a map. It could be of the inside of your house, your neighborhood, OR you could really work your brain and draw a map of the inside of our school. We haven’t been there for awhile so it might be hard to remember the order of the rooms, but it could be fun to try!

If you watched the video you got to enjoy a reading of a book that shows all different maps. Maybe that could be inspiration! You could make a few maps, some that are real and that are of places that you know, and maybe one about a favorite place you went on vacation and maybe even one about outer space or some made up place that you create from your imagination!

Don’t forget to add symbols, a compass rose and lots of color. Here are a few symbol examples if you make one of the neighborhood or city, but you can make up your own, too!

Well, you get the idea. Have some fun with this!

As always, miss you! Please do your schoolwork, get outside, help around the house and Be Kind!!

Wednesday……It’s APRIL 1st: April Fool’s Day!!!!

Wednesday……It’s APRIL 1st: April Fool’s Day!!!!

Morning to EVERYONE! Hope you are all well and ready for some art fun…..

If you have watercolor paint, you could paint a grass scene, if not- crayon and/or marker will do! Make a sheet that looks like it could be grass- different shades of greens, you could add some insects or flowers to give it more dimension, but think- when you weave your snakes through, you MIGHT not see the detail you put in the grass.
From another sheet of paper cut some snakes. They could be just rectangles or you could trim them so that you can see a head and a wavy or slithery body. Make sure the snakes are slightly longer than your grass paper.
Decorate the snacks- you can cut and glue on designs from cut paper or add designs with crayons and markers. Give them patterns so they look cool when you weave them in!
Now take the grass paper and make and UNEVEN number of cuts that start at the top but STOP before you get all the way to the bottom. You want the bottom of the paper in ONE PIECE!
Now for the best part. Take one snake and start to weave it in- over, under, over, under until you have taken it across the whole grass paper. Your next snake is woven the opposite of the one before, so start under, then over and so on until you reach the end. Every other snake will be woven the same. Cut the top of the left over grass to make it look spiky! And there you have it, snakes in the grass!!!!

A fun and color thing to do. Hang it up in your room or share it with your families, bright colors make everyone happy!

Hope you and your family are doing well. Please do your schoolwork, get outside everyday for a bit of fresh air, help out around the house and Be Kind! Miss you all!!!!
