Grand Ave. 3rd and 4th Grade Disability Unit

The third and fourth grade students at Grand Ave. have participated in activities in various classes to increase their understanding of what it is like to have a disability. In art, students watched several short films about a blind painter, a painter that uses her feet to paint and an artist that is autistic. Students then drew a picture and colored it using their feet or non-dominate hand. After working without their dominate hand we discussed the challenge of having a disability.

Grand Ave. 3rd Grade Snowmen Portraits

In the spirit of the season the 3rd grade students created snowmen portrait collages. Students started by reading Snowmen at Night by, Caralyn Buehner and then painted a snowman portrait. Then they added accessories and facial features using paper, felt, buttons and paint. We had a lot of creative snowmen!

Grand Ave. 3rd Grade Molas

Third grade students at Grand Avenue created paper molas based on the traditional molas made by the Kuna Indians from Panama. While making their molas students learned about warm and cool color families and organic and geometric shapes.
