Second and Third Grade students looked
at the dinosaurs of long ago.They
created huge oil pastel drawings which
were then mounted on sheets of cardboard.
Next ,their art was taken to their
language arts class where they wrote
stories related to their dinosaur
paintings. The stories ranged from
hobo dinosaurs to pirate dinosaurs
as well as princess dinosaurs. Finally,
this project was displayed in the
JES halls. The students loved combining
art and language art. |

ES Fourth Grade Studies Little House
on the Pararie - February
4, 2010
Submitted by Debbie Leggett
  
Joaquin Elementary fourth graders
enjoyed studying about Little House
on the Prarie in their social studies,library
and art class. They liked learning
about life in the early days of our
country and creating art representative
of those days. But,most of all, they
loved the parent participation at
the end of the unit when the parents
ncooked old time foods like cracklin'
cornbread, tea cakes, irish stew,deer
sausage and the like. It all was most
delicious. The students would like
to thank all who made this experience
possible. |
