What mood are you in today?

After reading "Glad Monster, Sad Monster" the K-2nd graders made their own mood monsters. You should be able to tell how their mood monsters are feeling depending on its color. When you see a blue painting does it make you more sad than a painting with bright yellow colors? When Pablo Picasso was really sad he painting only with blue colors! When Miss Reardon gets mad does her face turn red ?! ;-) Colors can show different moods.

Practicing with scissors

The first graders were the first students to earn the right to use the scissors. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they used them. Their goal was to cut zig-zag, straight and wavy lines and most the students could do it.

The dotted paper has a Dr. Suess quote saying "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells". This paper was quite appropriate for the project. Although the first graders might not understand "nonsense" and "brain cells", the adults who read it from the artwork might appreciate it.
