Service Learning Project: Ornaments for the VA Hospital

Fourth and fifth grade students from Mrs. Geiss and Mr. Irwin's class created ornaments that will be on display at the VA hospital in West Milwaukee for the holiday season.  Kudos to these students for taking the time to brighten the lives of the patients at the hospital during the holiday season!  

Happy Thanksgiving!

First/Second Grade Colorful Indian Corn Art

Spiders!

K5/1st grade classes created spiders using a variety of sensory materials.  We used yarn to create a web and model magic to form a spider.  

First and Second Grade Landscape Scarecrows

Students discussed different examples of landscape art.  We then created a landscape for a scarecrow using watercolors.  The next day we identified and created shapes from patterned paper to form a scarecrow.  This idea was inspired from deepspacesparkle.com.  We had so much fun making this project!  

Below are examples of each stage of the project. 

 

Colorful Cats

Students from 2nd and 3rd grade multi-age classrooms created cats in a unique way.  In each body part, the student came up with a different pattern using oil pastels.  We then used model magic to add three dimensional eyes and nose with wire whiskers.  Finally, we used gold paint to create a night sky. Check-out these creative examples!

Lots of Leaves!

4th and 5th grade students did observational drawings from real leaves.  They then traced over their pencil lines with glue mixed with black tempera paint.  We let these dry and then during our next class we used the color wheel to mix colors with oil pastels to add color to our leaves.  Students then painted a background color that complimented their leaves.   This idea was inspired from deepspacesparkle.com.    

Fall Birch Trees

Second and third grade multi-age class painted a fall sky, using the color wheel to mix colors.  Students then learned about and created the characteristics of birch trees.  Look at their beautiful work!

Jefferson Bear

1st/2nd and 2nd/3rd grade classes created Jefferson bears to go along with learning about "the Jefferson way" behaviors.
