First grade artists have been learning about the art and culture of Mexico.  After viewing Mrs. Persch’s brightly colored Mexican blanket, they created their own colorful blankets filled with oil pastel patterns.

We decided our blankets needed something extra…so first graders added a big green lizard sunning himself on their blankets!

Here we are, working on our blankets and lizards.  Our finished lizards are below – first graders really worked on their scissor skills while cutting out their lizards. They had to be really careful not to cut off the legs or tail!
