This year second grades placed their cardinals in evergreens. Connections were made to science as the discussion was opened up about what an evergreen was and where we might see them. The birds were drawn with black crayon and the evergreens were made with shades of green. If you haven't purchased liquid watercolors for your classroom, they are wonderful. Younger students can use them much more easily that the semi-wet watercolors in a tray. I can better focus the lesson on technique and brush use rather than concentrating on the water/paint ratio.
