I taught the first graders an easy way to make shamrocks the other day. They used all different shades of green to draw a group of shamrocks varying in sizes all over a piece of 12"x18" paper. Next they used watercolor paints to create a background. I did not give them any specific instructions for their backgrounds. I did give them some ideas to think about and I was happy to see them really using their creativity to make unique backgrounds. Here is a look at some of their creations...
Great work first grade!!
