Pirate Ships!

Kindergarteners and 1st graders read "Shiver Me Letters" about a crew searching for letters of the alphabet from a pirate ship.  After talking about all of the details on a real pirate ship, we drew them with pencil and marker.

Marble Painted Flowers

A lesson I haven't done in ~5 years, I decided to do a little marble painting.
As fun as the kids had, and as well as the final projects turned out, it's a lot of mess and I'm not sure I'll do it again for another 5 years!

Getting paints ready: 3 shades of red, medium pink, and light pink

Start shakin'!



Looks like fun!

After we painted, we decided to cut them into pieces for spring flowers.  They turned out amazing!
