The happy Monkeys just got happier! They were very excited to receive the lovely letter and artworks from K2B class in Mexico. Every part of the process was exciting- from reading the names of our friends to talking about Elmer the Elephant! Thank you! Kiitos! Gracias!
We first started talking about what we see when we walk out of the school. What is the environment like outside of Your School's doorstep? Monkeys talked about pine trees, birds, bushes, and now we have snow. Now the grass is covered with white snow.
Then we continued with our characters and where their homes are. We imagined if we were at our friend's home and stepped outside, what would we find. How would it look in the daytime and what about at nighttime? The Monkeys first used wax crayons to accentuate and outline shapes. When they painted over with watercolor this art technique helped highlight what they were trying to show in their painting.
K2B, we have a couple of questions for you. Do you have snow in Mexico? What do you like to do for fun?
We hope you like our artworks and we look forward to hearing from you!
Our best,
Arlene & the Monkeys
