Pirate!
I have been invited to join many zoom meetings where I shared this lesson. Some students were not able to be there or came in too late after we were almost finished drawing, and some classes it just hasn't been possible for me to come. So, I thought I would post this lesson on here so you could join with us in a different way. There is a picture book, a video of me doing the drawing and I included a WORD document with a black and white picture you could print out for YOUNGER siblings! You draw your own pirate because I KNOW YOU CAN DO AN AMAZING JOB!

BIRDS!

My friend and our Guest Art Teacher Ms. Boehme tells us - Who Was James John Audubon?
Ms. Brown will show you how to use the Audubon Society Website to find interesting birds, hear bird calls, see where they live, and find out all kinds of other information about specific birds. Then you can go to the Audubon Society Website yourself and pick a bird to draw.

Butterfly Lifecycle and Art-
Students can observe the lifecycle of a butterfly through video and create art inspired by butterflies. Students can label the body parts of their butterfly. Students can create art inspired by butterflies and their life cycle. As you create look at the lines, shapes, colors, and textures of the butterflies- for example look closely at the texture of the egg the caterpillar come out of- it has bumps on it. Pay attention to those details! Write a paragraph about the stages of butterfly lifecycle using first, next, then, and last.
