Art: This week's art lesson was about Mary Cassatt, an American artist from the early 1900s. She liked to make portraits of people in hats, so the art project was to decorate paper with oil pastels and cut out a hat shape. We mounted the hat on black paper and decorated it. Skyla then wanted to make a shirt with Pikachu (a pokemon) on the front. Learning about Mary Cassatt's life and doing the art project ate up the majority of the school day.
Math: Practiced the Yellow is the Sun song (see previous post) and practiced writing numbers correctly.
English: Read the Bob book "Muff and Ruff" and practiced separating individual sounds in words for spelling.
Social Studies & Geography: Did a few workbook pages. I ended up ordering the pdfs of the workbooks myself, since CVA still hasn't sent anything. Skyla really enjoys doing workbook pages and coloring stuff in.
I'm learning right along with Skyla - I didn't know about Mary Cassatt.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't know about her, either. Skyla also learned what a portrait was and a little about Impressionism (which is what Cassatt painted). We'll be learning about her good friend Degas (day-Gah) next week, I think.
