1st grade Igloos:

1) SMARTboard images/discuss

2) Demonstrate drawing igloos
3D appearance, curve the lines around it
-outline with black Sharpie
-Color heavy with white crayon

3) Paint with blue liquid watercolor (whole paper)

4) Let dry (students can draw animals or arctic things if finished early)

Class 2:

1) On 12" z 18" blue, draw a horizon line of some sort

2) Use a white crayon to add details (a COLD winter landscape)

(My other classes fingerpainted with white, and added thumbprint penguins first during 2nd class - this class was 1 day behind from missing a day....lasted 3 cycles/classes if doing finger painting too)

3) Fold paper in 1/2. cut twice on fold, "pop out" the fold and bend edges.

4) Glue cut-out igloo to the pop out

5) Add penguins, polar bears, pine trees, and other pop outs using same technique.


REALLY successful lesson with great feelings of accomplishment for all!! :)
