Sneak Peak at Portfolios, opens Dec. 1

No snow outside yet? Time for a winter landscape lesson:

Winter Watercolor Landscape:

Grade Level 1-8: Students will learn about the wet-on-wet watercolor wash technique and how to create texture using a sponge and acrylic paint. They will also learn about landscape composition, atmospheric perspective, watercolor painting skills, and will paint their own simple compositions using different colors, shapes, and overlapping skills. Check out the watercolor presentation for great "how-to" tips.

Great day for the Kingston Elementary Book Parade!

Over 30 homerooms full of students selected books for the annual Kingston Elementary Book Parade. Students dressed up in costumes inspired by the books they selected for their class. We saw some really creative costumes like Dr. Seuss's Thing 1 and Thing 2, prairie dogs covered in neon tennis ball fuzz, and a classroom of pirates!

Thanks to all the teachers, students, and parents who came out to watch the parade. Some of the books featured in the parade were: The Cat in the Hat, The Polar Express, The Night Before Halloween, Charlotte's Web, The Great Fuzz Frenzy, A Pirate's Guide to First Grade, and many more!
