Dinosaur Buddy Art

We've enjoyed a couple of get-togethers with our Grade 1 buddies this month. For Valentine's Day we created heart butterflies together, experimenting with differently-sized hearts and a variety of art materials, such as beads, pipe cleaners, etc. 


Today, we started by reading a story together called, Theo Thesaurus. This is a great little story about a dinosaur who feels different when he joins a new school because he speaks in a different way. Many students were able to make connections with this story because of different home languages they speak, accents they have, or simply through the idea of being new. 



After the story, we did a buddy craft of a dinosaur using clothes-pegs. The lever system in the clothes-peg makes the dinosaur look like it's opening and closing its mouth. :)
