The 6D students began sponge painting family apple trees this week to coincide with our "All About Me" unit during this month of September. Tomorrow I will read the students a wonderful book about families
before we add the apples in paint tomorrow.
While working, the students learned that sponge painting is a fine motor activity because you have to dab the paint from the sponge onto the paper in a repetitive rhythm, as opposed to that of moving a paintbrush across a page.
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished trees soon!
