First, we made suncatchers with clear Elmer's glue and food coloring. Remington liked to swirl and mix the colors in the glue. They should be dried next class, so he can take them home.

Then we read Pete the Cat and The Perfect Pizza Party and identified the sounds Remington is learning in Reading with Ms. Pam. Pete with the “e” at the end makes the “e” an open or a long vowel. If we cover up the “e,” Pete becomes pet and the “e” is a short or closed vowel. We discussed our favorite pizza toppings and looked at the silly toppings shown in the book. Then I had Remington create a “pizza” collage by cutting and gluing different shapes and colors of felt to create a pizza with texture. It was good practice cutting and gluing. Then he rolled out some air-dry clay and made a cupcake to paint next class when it is dried.

He is doing really well in art class and working hard!
