Art Club Update
Another successful art club meeting yesterday. Thank you to my wonderfully talented members. We finished 5 canvases and they are ready for Fine Arts Night on May 30th for the silent art auction. We also made this amazing giant paper flower. The flower came out so nice that we are thinking about making more for Fine Arts Night.

Kindergarten: Zippy The Zebra
Meet Zippy the Zebra!
Day 1: The students and I watched a YouTube video, "Zippy the Zebra." Poor Zippy had many fleas and was very itchy, he could not get ride of them. Then, Zippy walked by two birds in a tree that were very hungry. The birds ate all of the fleas off Zippy. Zippy felt better and the birds were not hungry anymore. This is called symbiosis. The students and I brainstormed other symbiotic relationships.
Symbiosis: Interaction between two different organisms living in close physical associations, typically to the advantage of both.
After, we talked about the black and white stripe pattern on zebras. We spent the remaining time in class making matters with buttons, pom-poms, colored pasta, buttons, beads, and wood shapes.
Day 2: Students traced, cut out, and glued together all of the parts to make their zebra. They assembled the zebra onto the background color of their choice.
Day 3: Students were given artistic freedom to make whatever colored stripes on Zippy, as long as they made a pattern. Student glued on a yarn tail and mane.
