I can't believe that our musical is tomorrow! The kids have worked so hard and are excited to perform for you.  Doors open at 9:00 and the show will begin promptly at 9:30 (in the cafeteria). We hope to see you all in the morning.

Author Study  ~  Eric Carle

We have been studying Eric Carle and all of his amazing stories. We have learned that he is an author and illustrator. He is well known for his use of colorful illustrations. His art work is created in collage technique, using hand-painted papers, which he cuts and layers to form bright and cheerful images. Check out some of our Eric Carle projects...

The Grouchy Ladybug

This story is about a little ladybug that is VERY grouchy. We decided to make our own "grouchy ladybugs". It was fun taking pictures of our grouchy faces! After we made our bugs, we wrote about things that make us grouchy.

The Tiny Seed

We imagined that we had our own tiny seed to plant. We created illustrations of what would grow from our tiny seeds. The class tried to recreate Eric Carle's use of ripping/gluing tissue paper to create their beautiful pictures. Once our illustrations were complete, we wrote about our tiny seeds.
