We have been working a lot with mixing colors and creating new colors. The students learned that when mixing red, blue, and yellow they can make other colors! To create these symmetrical butterflies the students painted and then folded their work. They learned about shapes and created a shape for their butterfly. Then they added details with a black marker. Beautiful!
Since we're on a four day rotation, I have the same class on Monday and Fridays. In order to not get too ahead of the other classes, we do a fun one-day lesson on these Fridays. First and second grade made colorful bubbles with straws and then pressed a piece of paper on top to create bubble prints! It was really cool when the blue, yellow, and red mixed to create other colors. (Sorry about the picture quality, they are cooler in person!)
