Changing Colors Fall Finger Painting

-



Activity: Students listened to a book about different leaves and colors. Students first traced their hand and arm with a pencil and then colored in the arm/hand (trunk/branches) with brown. Students then outlined pile leaves at the bottom of both sides of the trunk. Students then mixed yellow and red together in order to create an orange. After the colors were mixed, students finger-painted leaves onto the branches (making sure that all of the branches were covered). Once students were done with that, students finger-painted falling leaves leading to the outlined lead piles. Students then fingerpainted leaves onto the leaf pile. 

Extension: Students will write "I am grateful for...." sentences. Students will write 3 sentences on different leaves and the teacher will add student leaves to the class tree. As a class, we will go over what everyone wrote they were 'grateful'  for.

Print Iguana

Activity: Students were to create different prints utilizing three different colors and different designs (utilizing the jelly and roller squeegee). Once students created their different prints, they had to trace the outline of the iguana onto their prints. Once students outlined the iguana, they had to cut it out and glue it to the background piece of paper. Students had to add four legs, eyes, mouth, and tongue. Students also had to write three colors they used and what they represented. Extension: Students will learn vocabulary words and relate them to the iguana's body (head, tail, eyes, tongue, tail, etc.) Students will glue the pre-written labels around their iguana to identify the parts of body. Students will practice writing the vocabulary terms by tracing letter formation sheets.

 Activity: Students began by wedging clay and then rolling it out utilizing a rolling pin and wood pieces (to get equal thickness amongst the slab). Students then decided if they wanted a circle or square board. Students then outlined their shapes onto their slabs using the pointy sticks. Students then cut out their shapes using one of the plastic knives. Students then wedged their excess clay and began working on their dividers by rolling it out. Students then measured how long they wanted the dividers to be and began to score their pieces to attach them to the board. Once all 4 dividers have been attached students begin to work on their pieces. Students will make their pieces equal in size and mold them into their desired shapes. Once done, students moved their boards onto a paper towel and began painting their boards. Extension: Students will learn about the cultural significance of clay in history. Students will discuss tools and techniques used throughout history, as well as h...
