As you know, Jesse, our conversation auxiliar lives in Ohio. He told us many interesting things about this State and people who lives there. They are called "buckeyes". Then, we decided to make a mural with a big buckeye in Art class, with typical indian corn for Thanksgiving ( how colourful and nice it is!!)
In Ohio there are some animals that we can´t see here ( bald eagles, monarch butterflies, opossums, deers, cardenals....) We made these animals for the mural as well, using stencil technique.
All the children from 1st to 6th grade participated in this mural.
