Summer School Kindergarten Week 3

-

Theme: Art and Craft


We had a very creative and exciting week!! 




On Monday we explored color.  We unscrambled color words, and talked about our favourite color. We read The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt, and then we made our own drawing exploring our favourite color. 


On Tuesday we looked at some famous self portraits, and read a book about one particular artist; Frida Kahlo (Frida, by Jonah Winter). We then talked about our inner and outer selves and made a self portrait showing both sides. 



On Wednesday we had fun with water play!  It was very exciting! We also explored paper craft by making worry dolls, which we learned about from the story Silly Billy by Anthony Browne. We enjoyed making clothes for our doll and talking about things that sometimes worry us.




On Thursday we had fun with water play again! The weather was nice, and it helped cool us down.  After that we explored 3D craft by making our own folding houses. It was a challenge, but everyone tried hard and made some amazing homes! 



On Friday we experimented with splatter painting after reading the picture book: Jackson Pollock Splashed Paint and Wasn’t Sorry by Fausto Gilbert. After lunch we read Art & Max by David Wiesner, and talked about different
painting styles.

It was a very fun and productive week!

Kindergarten in the summer

 Boy oh boy, it was a lot of fun seeing familiar faces as well as new faces during summer school. This year we had a lot of help from Alex, a student in Junior high.  We have a K'nex set in the classroom and Alex and a few of the students were able to put together a working carousel out of it! It was really cool. Summer school wouldn't be  summer school without drenching ourselves with water. In this kind of heat we had this year, it was a lot of fun to fill up our water gun tanks and have a blast. Our second week of summer school was built around fairies and fairytales. Both Pre-K and Kindergarten came together to work on making their own castle tower craft. It was a lot of fun throughout the week. I look forward to next year. Thank you to all the kids, especially those that joined us from outside the school. Hope to see you again next year!
