We saw a presentation about Van Gogh and some of his pictures. After that, we were just ready to make our special sunflowers in a vase...with a fork!!

Wassily KANDINSKY is one of our favourite painters.

We were inspired by him to make these FLOWERS:

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.

Children love Easter.

In English and Art class, preschoolers and primary students reviewed vocabulary related to Easter, learned about other traditions and had fun with many different activities and crafts. Here are some of them...
