Moon Paintings

Now that it it is officially feeling like fall, our Friday Activities have become more centered on the season. We read Long Night Moon by Cynthia Rylant, one of our favorite authors. Then we used tempera paints to create beautiful moonlit night backgrounds and the silhouette of bare trees.  I'll save these and give them to you at conference time so that they don't get ruined on the trip home being scrunched into a backpack!
Kids start by adding a white moon and then carefully mixing shades of white and blue to make rings around the moon.






Then they work on filling in the background.
