Children's book author Bruce McMillan generously donated 50 copies of his book The Remarkable Riderless Runaway Tricycle to students at Peacham School. Using the actual tricycle, students were challenged to create a drawing that worked as a narrative, creating a story about a tricycle that travels on an adventure. The model for their drawings was the actual tricycle which visited the school. It was the same one photographed for the book and also for the movie (HERE).
Grades 1/2 used concepts of symmetry to complete masks this past October. We looked at designs in nature to recognize symmetry and applied those concepts to our paper masks.
Our kits have finally arrived from the Vermont Watercolor Society and the 3/4 class spent last week exploring their new materials. We used the first class period as free time to test out colors, brushes, paper and (new to most students), kneaded erasers.
