Then, the class explored radial symmetry using paper folding and cutting to create flowers. Students used reference images to draw hummingbirds, and then glued the flowers and hummingbirds together in a mixed-media collage.
This project was an awesome opportunity to explore content in Latin American studies, geography, math, literature, and science. We had so much fun learning and making. Take a look at the pictures below of the beautiful art and my awesome 2nd grade class. They were so engaged in their projects that they barely noticed that I was taking pictures!
