Kindergarteners' Plant Study Integrates Science, Literature, and Art
Kindergarteners have embarked on a project integrating science, literature, and art in the study of sunflowers. In science, the students have been studying the life cycles of trees, plants, and flowers. They recently made a sunflower life cycle book. Yesterday the students used acrylics on canvas to paint sunflowers, exploring Impressionist painting techniques. Through reading Camille and the Sunflowers by Laurence Anholt, they learned about the life and paintings of the most famous sunflower painter of them all, Vincent van Gogh.
Says teacher Lisa Hawley, "We love to find creative ways for the students to express themselves and appreciate different ways to look at all the colors and textures in the world around them." MORE PHOTOS
