What a Week!

We have been so busy this week I haven't had time to update the blog. For the past three days we have been working on making a mural of Antarctica. We have been very busy making seals, Orcas, and Penguins to go in our icy mural. To make sure that our mural was realistic, we looked in books to see what animals we might find, what they look like and what the scenery of Antarctica looks like. Our mural is still not finished, but I took some
work-in-progress pictures.










The students carefully looked at the pictures of the animals they were making.

I thought that the animals turned out so great that I had to take a picture of them before they went on the mural. I think the penguins might be my favorite. They all turned out so nice!

The Orcas and Seals also turned out really cute.





We did not have time to finish gluing our animals onto the mural today, so we will have to finish that on Monday. The Antarctic mural is up in the hallway outside of class. If you do not have time to come by and see it I will post pictures of the finished product. Here is what it looks like penguin-less:

I had to take two pictures of the mural because it is so big. For some reason I am having trouble getting the images to overlap, but you can see the general idea. On Monday we will add the penguins!
