lessons for 1st week Feburary

This week most of the classes will look at some Chinease New Year art. Although the new year is on Feb 14th this year (v-day) we are going to do our New Year art this week and v-day next week.

We will start the week with 3rd grade making dragon masks using these two printables

This one is an adobe file and I cant put in the blog

but here is another popular one
and an sample simple but fun

2nd grade will make a fancy dragon puppet using this printable and accordion fold paper
the link to the printable

middle school : will finish mosaics and do grid drawings

life skills 1: will make some painted birds like the 1st graders did last week

life skills 2: will make some textured papers for our puffy v-day heart and make our heart out of hand prints


Tuesday: 4th grade
one class will work on their story quilts, the other class did not start the story quilt and instead will learn how to draw a tiger as this will be the year of the Tiger. (make sure to have circle and almond shape templates)
