Second Grade Art

Underwater Hippos

 In Art, second graders began the year by viewing  images of the hippopotamus in their natural habitat   I asked  the students to share what they knew about the animals.  Where do they live in the wild?  Does the hippo live on land , in the water or both?  What words can we use to describe the hippo? These questions and more were explored in this lesson.  For the art production , students  expressed their creativity by making their own hippo, cooling off in the water.
