First Graders added collage scarecrows to their landscapes this week.  They did an amazing job of following directions – I gave them lots of ideas on making their scarecrows, put the materials on the tables, and they had a blast!  (special thanks again to Patty at Deep Space Sparkle for her post on scarecrows…gave me courage to try them with first garders!)

First Graders began a scarecrow project this week – they can’t wait to get to the scarecrow part!  I need to give kudos to Patty at Deep Space Sparkle for this project – I’ve always avoided scarecrows with the little people – too scary?!  Deep Space has some excellent ideas for scarecrow projects, without the scary. We spent this week creating the landscape for our scarecrows, drawing a hilly field with oil pastels and painting with watercolors.  Next…scarecrows!
