Frogs




Frogs were made by second and fourth graders. We used painted paper to add collage details to finish these tempera paintings.

Tigers




These adorable tigers were made by first graders. We first painted paper and they then followed my guided drawing lesson. We used craypas. The following week we used a collage technique to finish like Eric Carle. Could they get any cuter?

Clay Projects


These clay projects were funded by a grant from the Manatee Community Foundation. They gifted my school $250.00, so that each student could make 3 glazed clay projects. We made over 2400 projects in a 3 month period, whew! Most of the projects were displayed in the glass cases in our school and many were also exhibited in the Central library in Bradenton. We'll display there again this April. I am grateful to the foundation for spreading their wealth as it provided so much joy. It's the best experience for us teachers when our students love and enjoy what they're learning.
