Recycled collage.

I found a bunch of paper in the hallway that was going to get thrown out so I saved it and handed it out to my first graders to create a one day collage.  We discussed overlapping shapes and texture.

Ladybug time.

First grade and kindergarten did a oversized painting of a ladybug!  I figure if  we start some Spring projects now Spring will actually get here sooner.  We discussed how to paint shapes to make a picture.  I also tried to get the little students to understand what a highlight is.  Advanced I know.  These look great.
