Kindergarten students created Easter-themed bird’s nests filled with eggs in their weekly art class taught by faculty member Patti Scardilli. The unique and colorful artwork will be on display at the K-3rd Grade Spring Concert on April 21.
The students worked on the two-day project during the last two weeks of March. The students used their drawing, coloring, cutting, and gluing skills to draw a bird’s nest on construction paper and then decorated it with oval shaped eggs. The students drew circles with brown, black, and white colored crayons to create the nest, added branches and green leaves, and then cut out oval shaped eggs and used crayons to add colored spots and dashes.
“The students did a wonderful job and brought their own, unique creativity to their drawings,” Scardilli said. As she presented the project to the students, Scardilli also shared the Easter story and the symbolism of the eggs as a reminder of Jesus rising from the dead.
“Like a baby bird hatching out of an egg, Jesus came back to life,” Scardilli said. “When we see an egg, we can think about how Jesus is alive again and how much He loves us.”
Our kindergarten classes enjoyed a fun-filled day at Storybook Land on Wednesday, October 10, a favorite annual fall field trip. They rode the nursery-rhyme themed rides, went on a hayride, and picked and decorated pumpkins. Students have been learning that stories are made up of characters, and so they spent the day identifying characters from favorite stories who were in the park. Thank you to kindergarten teachers Hayley Price and Julie Reilly, their aides, and our parent chaperones for helping make great memories with our students.
