Educating the Whole Child:
Mind, Body and Spirit.
Fall is such a beautiful time of the year. As an artist, I observe the changing colors and scenery throughout New England thinking of new ways to share the season’s beauty with my students. Grade 2 completed their fall reflection paintings with watercolors and pastels. It was like magic to see our pastel fall trees reappear in the clear blue painted lake. Grade 5 tried out new watercolor paint techniques, wet on wet and wet on dry. Amazing scarecrows came to life using paint in a new way. Kindergarten explored apples, their colors and shapes. They observed how the inside apple looks compared to the outside. After reading, Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall, the outside of the apples were created with sponge paint, while torn paper was used for the inside.
