Mural

Last Wednesday we made an activity with Museum Marco.
The activity consisted in listening a storyteller and 2 art pieces.
The story we listened was about a man who was damned to become a worm.  He regret  and then we was able to become a butterfly.  The storyteller explained to kids that they are going to change just like the worm did it.  Kids will become wiser now they are going to 1st grade.
In the classroom, kids learned two techniques: chalk and paint.  After the art pieces were finished, we were able to create a mural putting the butterflies altogether.
Kids had a great time!
