$5 - $10 2nd Grade Visual Arts Activities (by date, oldest first)

Need an awesome Art Unit? I have just the thing for you! This creative Observational Pumpkin Drawing was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I placed several plastic pumpkins and gourds at each set of tables for students to look at and draw. Students practiced drawing/coloring pumpkins and gourds in their sketchbooks or on small paper first. Next, students started a Final Copy drawing of one observational pumpkin and one gourd on 11 x 17-inch paper (horizontal). Students used oil pastels and watercolor paint. Plan to do this unit during the fall, between Halloween and Thanksgiving. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

This is a collection of activities that can be done while watching the movie The Lorax. Each activity focuses on a different skill for ELA. These include Story Elements, Characters, Sequence of Events, Main Idea and Theme, and Point of View and Attitude.

These would be great for a fun Friday, connection from book to movie, and even an assessment for these different skills. I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.
