This Week in Art
All ECC Classes will be gluing on pom poms to their sheep. Everyone did a wonderful job coloring their sheep! With a little help from Mrs. Kerwin and two gold fasteners the sheep’s heads and tails actually move back and forth.
Kindergarten will be starting their Watercolor Turkey project. This project reinforces fine motor coordination by having the students trace penciled lines, color in appropriate spaces and learn proper watercolor painting skills.
Gr. 1 — First graders will enjoy Potato Printing this week using tempera paint colors: orange, red, green, brown and yellow to paint a picture of fall leaves.

Gr. 3 — Third graders will be weaving with construction paper to make a festive, fall placemat.
Gr. 4 — These students will continue their stencil design using oil pastels.
