It is time to think warm thoughts as we get to our manuver our way into April. Although, I am not sure warm is not quite the right term for what is going on in our art room and there sure seems to be a lot of scales and string!
1st and 3rd have been busy with weaving practicing this fun tongue twister all the while: "I learned to weave with warps and wefts!" With this practice we learned that both warps and wefts can alter in appearance even though their function is the same.

There may no longer be lions in the art room but it sure looks like something big has been playing with some string. Or perhaps not big at all...In fact it looks more and more like hundreds of hands getting their chance to engage in the street art known as "Yarn Bombing". Students learned about street art, how a street artist's canvas and materials either are similar or different from ours in the classroom and much, much more. 4th and 5th grade students were the first to get the opportunity to "yarn-bomb" our dear friend and my bicycle: "Ms. Rhonda" (Think of "Help me, Rhonda" from the Beach Boys). Our goal is to have every grade level participate in Rhonda's transformation in yet another DC collaboration effort. To see the final result, check into the DC spring carnival where Rhonda will be put on display!
