Family Reading Night

It was a pleasure to see you and say hello at the family reading night on Thursday. We enjoyed seeing the monochromatic selfies some of you made to add to our hundreds of smiles.

If you didn't get a curriculum sheet, here is what your child will be learning in art this year.

And if you have not signed up for artsonia the online student art museum, it's not too late! Send me an email (cfrueh@lisle202.org) and I will send you the parent code. 

It's easy to sign up. Go to artsonia.com click on parent, enter the code from me, put in your email address, grant permission and that's it! As soon as you grant permission, you will get an email each time I post your child's art. It's fun to see their artwork and fun to share with your family and friends. Hope you sign up today!

Clay Pumpkins

First graders used their knowledge of color mixing to create fall pumpkins with Model Magic clay using only red, blue and yellow.

The clay does an amazing job of showing the transformation of color and the excitement in the art room was high when students saw orange emerge from mixing yellow and red and green emerge from mixing green and blue.

They created 2 pinch pots, one for the bottom and one for the lid, used green for the stem and made snail and turtle friends with the left over green.

When dry, the little pumpkin will go inside hidden by the lid.

Mixing colors, pinch pots, coils and hand building - lots of learning in this lesson.
