Kindergarten Talks About Egypt!

Today I threw Kindergarteners a ton of facts about Ancient Egypt and they caught them all! We discussed Hieroglyphics, Pharaohs, the Nile, the Sphinx, Pyramids, and cats. Students then began to create their borders by writing their names using the hieroglyphic alphabet, as well as discussing the differences between our alphabet and that of the Ancient Egyptians.

Second Grade Clay Waterlilies

Monet! Monet! Monet! After creating a 2D piece of art inspired but the work of Claude Monet, second grade students are now transitioning into making a 3D waterlily out of clay. Students are then allowed to add details to their flowers and/or mix colors together to achieve a unique color of their very own.
