Spring into Life, Still Life Drawing!

Today we went on a nature walk in our courtyard to find some wild flowers for a still life. We found/rescued  this little monarch caterpillar and gave him some milk weed to hang out on for a while so we could draw him before we placed him in our school garden.

the students enjoyed getting outside to find all kinds of plants and wild flowers

we placed the flora (and fauna) in tp tubes to help get a better point of view

this little plant was my favorite…not sure what it is…

Kinder and First Grade Very Hungry Caterpillars

I found this idea on pinterest from this great blog http://iheartcraftythings.blogspot.com/2011/07/story-time-very-hungry-caterpillar-with.html

We used colored paper used colored paper to make the food for their caterpillars. They used hole punchers to make the holes he’s nibbled out. The kinder used crayons to draw his food!

I LOVE glitter!! I covered these guys in sparkles!!
