Third graders are learning about the Black Forest in Germany. They are creating a collage that will include the forest background, a red squirrel, and various leaves and mushrooms.
We are beginning with one of my favorite techniques I call marker painting. Ask your third grader about it!

The 4K students learned How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow. Then they drew the biggest, brightest, most colorful rainbow the world has ever seen! Notice both the sun and the clouds, because both have to be there to make a rainbow. And because they are best friends!!
