1st Grade- Mixed Up Wild Things

We read and discussed the book “Where the Wild Things Are”, written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak.

We learned that the three primary colors- Red, Yellow, and Blue- can be mixed together to make three new colors! So, using crayons, we did just that! The new colors- Orange, Green, and Violet- are called secondary colors.

Isn't it amazing how all we need are those three colors layered together to produce all the other colors of the color spectrum?!

Our Wild Things come in many shapes and sizes but they would never eat us up! They just like to have fun.

“Let the wild rumpus start!”

2nd Grade - Chalk Pastel Creatures

We read and discussed “Where the Wild Things Are ” written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak.  

There are patterns throughout the book that repeat, repeat, repeat.  Our Wild Things have patterns too. 

Our Wild Things are not gory or mean- they just want to have a good time.  They smile and dance.  Some even eat pizza!

1st Grade - Texture Wild Things

We read and discussed the book “Where the Wild Things Are”, written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak.  

We used texture rubbing plates and crayons to create the illusion of texture on our original wild things.  Texture is the way something feels. 

Our Wild Things come in many shapes and sizes but they would never eat us up!  They just like to have fun.
