The Super Kids wanted to wish a “Happy Father’s Day” to the special men in their lives. Last week we spend most of the day making our present. Each student made a thoughtful card and then we got down to business…BBQ business! We followed a recipe and improvised a bit. We tasted and asked ourselves what was missing. Then we poured it into some jars for our dads to enjoy! One student said, “Mrs. Didyk, we’re chefs!”
Next, we learned about Jackson Pollock. He is a modern artist who used house paint and very large canvas’ to create his art. He dripped and splattered the paint on the canvas. We took a closer look at his artwork and talked to friends about what we saw in his paintings. We even read a storybook about his life.
It was the kids turn to be inspired! They splattered, dripped, and rolled marbles on their masterpieces to create a special one of a kind art piece for their Dads.
We spent the day at Six Pines Farm just north of the city today. Five classes from our school all went together to explore, learn about animals, and focus on life cycles. We learned about their adaptations, fur, families, and how long each animal takes to have their babies. Did you know that goats had four stomaches? I didn’t either!
A special thank you to our volunteers that took time out of their day to spend with us. The kids should sleep well tonight. I know I will. 🙂
