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!

Tower Rock Birch Tree Forests

Students then painted a warm background for their trees using watercolors.
