Day 1: Coloring mixing lesson. I put a small amount of blue and yellow paint on each students paper. Students mixed colors directly on paper to see how the colors mix and change to make green!
(Before students came in for Day 2, I precut their painted paper into a loom for weaving.)
Day 2: Students used green strips of paper to weave into their looms. This was a new concept for first and second graders so it took the entire class time to complete.
Day 3: Students cut out and glued pieces to complete their alligators! Some had time to add some texture to the tail along with additional details.
Kindergarten started the following lesson the same way, by mixing colors on their paper to make a new color! I showed them some of Eric Carle's work and we continued the lesson by making the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
(Before Day 2, I traced 6 large circles on the back of their painted paper for them to cut out).
