Just before our spring break the children from kindergarten through 3rd grade painted a landscape in the round on a chinet plate, in anticipation to create a woven tree or rainbow. As we packed up and headed out for our spring break we knew that school would be cancelled at least until April 6th. So the plates remain landscapes, waiting for the hands that painted them to return. I have one child in the age group, so I decided to bring that project home for my family to enjoy *wink*! I did not read Weaving the Rainbow, by George Ella Lyon to my children. The book is the base or beginning of the lesson. K-3rd grades are my target range, at home we had a 2nd, 5th, and 8th grader. Bless them, they were such good sports. During this time of #saferathome, I still continue to teach, online, and at home.
As a weaver this lesson is like breathing, simple and easy to execute.. The results are impressive and the kids feel quite proud after accomplishing the all the steps. Kudos to Ms. Cassie. https://cassiestephens.blogspot.com/2013/04/in-art-room-tree-weaving-with-third.html
