1st Grade Arctic Animals

We learned about the bright dancing lights of the aurora borealis.  The lights are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are known as Aurora borealis in the north.  We looked at photos of this amazing phenomenon.  We  talked about arctic animals and about their adaptations and  habitat.  Students learned a wet-on-wet water color technique using salt which they applied to their background to create a "northern light sky".  Children also learned how to draw a various animals which they drew using a photo for reference. They cut out their drawn animal and glued it onto the foreground of their paintings
