Emily Carr

In Room 1 we have been noticing changes in the trees. Leaves are changing colour and falling to the ground.  We decided to study an artist who often painted trees. Her name is Emily Carr. We viewed some of her paintings, talked about the colours and lines we noticed and then painted our own trees. We also learned there are different kinds of trees. Here are some of the things the kinders know about trees:
Haley - "The needle ones and the big bushy tree."
Ava - "The leaves are changing colours."
Phoenix - "The leaves turn brown."
Miguel - "The leaves turn red and green and yellow."
Kara - "The pokey trees have green needles all year".
Kaycie - "Leaves fall off the trees and they change to purple sometimes."
Eunice - "The leaves are turning pink and orange.
