Kinder Builds A Community

In Kindergarten we have been learning about the different places in our community. Students designed and decorated a building that is part of the community, like a house, restaurant, school, gas station, police station, or hospital. Next week we will make our buildings stand up and put them together to create a class community. We've been practicing our cutting and gluing skills throughout this project.

2nd Grade Creates Camouflage

In second grade we finished up our camouflaged creature project. Can you find the creatures blending into the background in these pictures? The students loved getting to create a pattern with oil pastels and then trying to blend their creature into the background.

4th Grade Buffalo Hide Paintings

In fourth grade we learned about the American Indians that live in Utah. We looked at examples of artworks from American Indian culture, including petroglyphs and buffalo hide paintings. Often, buffalo hide paintings told a story or a person's history, so we made our own paintings based on that style. We crumpled up brown paper to make it look like a buffalo hide and designed different symbols to help tell our own life history. This project was a lot of fun and helped us develop new skills.
