Art: Cut-Paper LandscapeThis week we ended our time with the Hudson River School with a landscape study. The students cut out shapes from scrap paper to form a landscape. Then, they used oil pastels to add trees and anything else they felt inspired to add.
For the confederates' class, I pre-cut the paper, so they could focus on gluing and painting. This was more of a time constraint issue than anything else. Consider giving your children paper and scissors this week to see what they create!
For those interested, I bought our oil pastels and pencil sharpeners from Cheap Joe's Art Stuff, a trusted art supplier from my art school days!

Science: Crustacean Dissection
In science this week, we finished zoology and our first quarter. We looked at roly-polies (pill bugs) under magnifying glasses, and we discussed how pill bugs differ from insects. This was a relaxed week in science. For those of you who have missed science some this quarter, consider looking at Home Science Tools for supplies and more ideas! A CSH Science Curriculum Activity.
See you next week!
