This week was all about leaves and color mixing! We connected to a famous artist named Piet Mondrian by learning more about him. We learned that he uses the primary colors which are blue, red and yellow, shapes, straight lines and that he liked to dance!
We noticed how he did his abstract art and made some of our own Piet Mondrian art.
We took a closer look at the primary colors and made colors of our own. We had so much fun mixing colors to find a color we liked and created a "paint pallette" with them. We even named our paintings. Here's a sneak peak! Can you guess which paint color is named "Peach, Fire Paint, Love Fire, Blue Toy, and Sunset Angel?"
We have been doing some graphing and surveys in grade one. We used our math carpet today to learn more about each other.
Do you like fall? Yes or No. Can you see what the most popular answer was?
What is your favorite fall leaf color? Brown, Orange, Purple, Green?
We read the book "I am Thankful for" by Todd Parr. We wrote in our journals today about what we were thankful for and why. Ask me to tell you what I wrote. We are learning to use our knowledge of letters and sounds to spell words. We call it "kid writing". We are learning to be able to read what we wrote and writing down the beginning and end sounds we hear.
