Bug Jars Finished

The 4th grade projects are finished and in the halls I am behind posting them here. They turned out very nice. Some of the kids even had time to add a 3D bug to the outside of the jar.

Integrating Art and Science

In 4th grade art we are working on making bug jars while the kids are learning about insects in their classroom. It is fun to watch the kids take what they have learned about insects and apply that to their drawings. This is a great way to help the kids retain what they have learned. Kids love bug too so they have fun with this project, being able to create bugs and keep them in their jars. This project isn't finished yet. We will be working on making a one point perspective background this week and then gluing the two parts together.

4th and 5th field trip

We had a great time eating lunch together outside and drawing on art hill. Not to mention the interesting things we learned from our docents in the museum. We couldn't have asked for a nicer day together.
