Art Awareness

Using a marble and paint to make art pieces like Jackson Pollock
Yesterday Mrs. Theiss came in and taught KD  about the artist Jackson Pollock.  This is the second artist we have learned about through the Art Awareness program.  Last month Mrs. Hawrysz came in and taught us about the artist Mary Cassatt.  After we learned about the artist and looked at their art KD became artists and explored how to make art pieces the way those artists did.  KD has been having a great time learning about the different artists!

Community Helpers

For the past few weeks kindergarten has been learning about community helpers.  We first explored what a community helper.  Now we have been learning about a different community helper each day.  So far we have learned about construction workers, doctors, nurses, police officers and veterinarians. Next up, paramedics!
