Perhaps if you follow this blog, or have come here via Pinterest like some 680,000 of you (seriously, there were 15,000+ visits last month?!), you have noticed that I have not posted in over a year and wondered what's up?? I mentioned in an earlier post that maintaining our school blogs became less encouraged at one point, so I sort of slowed down and was mostly posting within our school's class pages for parents to see. Then, during the last school year, my family made the decision to move to a new state, and I suppose I just started to focus on wrapping up nine glorious years at Calvert School and I stopped blogging altogether. Last June, I moved south and this year I have been staying home part time with my son and actually making some art of my own (I paint pet portraits! See below :)). I miss teaching so very much, and I still visit this blog every month or two to approve/publish comments and reply to them. I am happy and humbled that so many people are inspired by my lessons and my students' work, and it is so cool to still feel connected in some way to the Art Education world through comments and questions from other teachers! I hope to one day find a new school home and continue to do what I know I do best- teach ART! - and then you might see me pick up here again too!

If you're teaching about the ocean, we've got a great activity that teaches children about the ocean zones and animals in those ocean zones.
Earth’s oceans are a carbon sink, which is a place where carbon is stored long term. Oceans absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It reacts with seawater, creating carbonic acid, which in turn lowers the pH of the ocean. This phenomena is known as ocean acidification. It will only get worse as we release more ... Read more

This fall, we've had some fun with the higher reading group doing some non-fiction animal activities. These have been in a pile to share, so we apologize. :) We don't have any pictures, but we will do our best to share. We started with learning about sharks while we were learning the 'ar' sound. Sharks seem to be one of those things that really just grab the kiddos attention. They couldn't get enough of reading about sharks, looking at pictures of real sharks, and even watching a fun video. We began by reading several books about sharks, and made a chart of all of the cool and interesting facts that we learned. Next we completed this shark activity. We then read this little sheet that the kids loved, since it had such great pictures. They also loved that the got to take home a little mini-poster to teach their families about sharks. We read over this several times, and by the end, the kids were able to read most of it by themselves. (Keep in mind this is the high reading group, so we have several reading at a second grade level.) Last we each did a shark report to really share what we had learned about sharks. These turned out sooo cute, I wish I would have remembered to photograph them. Next time! {Also, I apologize that the jpeg cuts off the side of the picture. Drives me all kinds of crazy! The actual document is ok though.} Click below for copies of all of these for yourself! SHARK ACTIVITIES Later on, we learned all about whales when we learned the 'wh' sound. This came right after the sharks, which the kids loved. It was really fun to compare and contrast whales and sharks, and to discuss the similarities between the two. We followed the same basic pattern by starting with reading several books about whales. We also found some really great videos on you tube. HERE is a great one of whales breaching. Of course there were few if any of our kids who had seen this, so it was really fun to watch the kids watching them. We also watched a great video of Beluga whales singing, which was another really exciting idea for the first graders. Unfortunately when I went to link it, it had been removed. But I recommend sharing something similar if you're learning about whales. We then completed this whale activity. {Sorry, it doesn't seem to want to rotate for me. } The kids loved this whale text that we read together, and loved reading about different kinds of whales, and looking at their different pictures online as well. At the end of our whale activities, we also created whale reports. We had a great bulletin board of our reports up that turned out so cute! As mentioned before, we wrapped up by comparing and contrasting whales and sharks, and made this Venn diagram. Make sure to grab copies for yourself! WHALE ACTIVITIES WHALE & SHARK VENN DIAGRAM We hope you find some of these useful! Tune in later this week for some bat and owl activities. Have a great night!
