Eyed Egg Art
/Today we read more about the salmon life cycle. We created drawings of the eyed egg stage of the salmon life cycle. We’ve been exploring different art mediums and techniques over the last several weeks- tempera paint, water color, oil pastels, sharpie markers, and colored pencils. Student artists had the opportunity to choose the art medium they felt could best convey their ideas about the eyed egg stage.
Today was our last official day with our college buddies. They helped us finish researching our plants and writing our field guide pages. We presented them with cards we had created for them. We will miss our teacher buddies. It’s been an amazing collaboration with Pacific’s College of Education.
We explore math concepts daily through paper and pencil calculations, manipulatives, board games, and projects. Today we did some tricky math to calculate temperature units to predict when our salmon would be ready to be released. Many of us played board games during choice time and/or numeracy centers today. During Writer’s Workshop we worked on finishing our field guide pages and then worked on our imaginative pieces.
