aMAIZEing Corn

Today we made our very own Maize or Indian Corn. We used red, orange, yellow and brown paper for the kernels. Once we created our corn, we graphed the colors that were used. It was a fun project and the kids were very excited that Mrs. Gates had real Indian Corn that we were able to pass around. 

Boo!

Happy Halloween!
We've been busy at work reading spooky stories and making some fun Halloween art projects! Here's a few examples of projects we've created over the last few weeks:
