 What is Community?

Students are continuing to work on the House project we are working on to study our community. We have 62 kindergarten students broken up into 3 groups. Group1 is working on drawing their house on acetate and painting them. Group 2 is creating drafts which will turn into a final piece that will use the media watercolor. Group 3 is creating a 3-Dimensional map using their houses to create the community in which we live around our school. Students are using photographs of their own homes and looking at other maps to help them compare and create their own Kindergarten community.

Below are drafts of group 1 working on drawing their home without a photograph. Then the second draft is students using their own picture of their house to create an observational drawing that will then be transferred onto acetate and painted with acrylic. The students are focusing on the details of their home, they are counting windows and noticing color and nature around their surroundings.
