Grade two EL started their springtime poppy flowers today! We talked about the different colours and reasons for poppy flowers; especially for remembrance day, which is Nov 11 for the US, UK and Canada, but is April 25 for New Zealand and Australia. We also talked a little about perspective.
Next week, students will add stems, clouds and leaves to their field of poppy flowers. How beautiful!!!
I am the art teacher at Shanghai United International School PuDong Campus. I teach art to Grade Three Panda all the way to Grade Eight. I am also the Homeroom teacher for Grade8TB. Lucky them! Some students think I am famous, because everyone knows me at our school. :]
