Grade 2 Week 15

I like how there are books that have lessons/learning hidden in them :)

And then, there are those that are just for fun :)

We were continuing our Scooby Doo binge as well.

We were learning about reptiles this week, so naturally....

We used Sharpies and a water-filled spray bottle on some paper towels and then cut Chameleon shapes out of them.

We did some other crafts as well, including another Chameleon thingy,

And then we embarked on a pretty massive Salt Dough project over the next few days.

You wanted to be all hands on with the project, 

and even volunteered to knead :)

We made several characters, and poked a straw into some of them to make as Christmas Ornaments.

For some reason, even though this photo is super Out Of Focus, I LOVE IT!

I mean, look at that proud beaming face.

Then, while I brought the dough over to the oven to dry for a bit.  In the meantime, we drew :)

The Salt Dough animals and ornaments turned out great :)

Last step was the painting, which you love to do, and which we need to do more often.

I painted some, you painted some, and I think we nailed it. :)
