The 1st Grade students
learned about the importance of corn in our society. They learned that corn is the number one crop
in America. We read the book, Corn By
Gail Gibbons. In this book students
learned there are many different types of corn and many uses for corn. Corn is
used in many foods such as candy, soda, and cereal. Corn is also used in glue, paint and
soap. Students also learned that the
Indians were the first people to grow corn and that is where “Indian Corn” gets
its name. Students were able to use
lines, pattern and texture to create their own Indian Corn.
I am thinking about doing an Indian corn lesson. I sure do like what you've done here. :)
ReplyDeleteI am going to try out the "indian corn" project with my first graders during our plants unit in science. Did you use oil pastels and brown paper towels or is is something else? Thanks for the neat idea.
ReplyDeleteActually students just used crayons and yes brown paper towels for husk.
