I'm trying to keep up with daily blog updates, but it's sometimes difficult when there are so many wonderful projects pulling me in different directions.

120- I pushed into their class while they explored their senses with fabrics, different things to taste, things that make music/noise, things to see, and things to smell.  This will pave the way for their description of what they feel with their senses using our Burchfield nature walks.

We went to the Burchfield-Penney Art Center again, this time with the Pre-K.

A drawing in the "Shiver" exhibit, with water pouring down the walls.

103- I wanted the students to have time to reflect on their Burchfield experiences and also get practice with watercolors, so I let them choose a favorite page from their journals and they used the watercolor on that. I also let them decorate the cover if they finished early.  They take their journals on all four of the Burchfield exhibits and the nature walks with me.  These will be an amazing record of their year at School #33.

102- I brought a group in to paint their nocturnal landscapes.
