Kindergarten Snow Mural

Kindergarten artists read "Straight to the Pole," by Kevin O'Malley, a story about a little boy lost in the snow... or is he?

The worked together using tempera paint to create a snow mural.  As always, we practice social skills such as cooperation and sharing in addition to building our art skills. 

Hopefully this snow art will inspire our Vermont weather to shape up and bring us some winter fun!  

Kindergarten Collage Snowmen

Kindergartners made snowpeople collages. They use paper covered in tissue paper and painted with white paint for the snowballs. We read "Snowballs," by Lois Ehlert and "The First Day of Winter," by Denise Fleming.

Kindergarten Gingerbread Houses and Snowmen

Snow on Snow

Students in first through fourth grade worked collaboratively on a mural based on the book Snow on Snow on Snow by Cheryl Chapman.

 We used colored paper to create a collage of all of our favorite snow activities.  We completed our collage on the morning of one of our all-school ski days, so children were excited to get out and enjoy the fresh snow!
