Eric Carle Inspired Literacy Night/Art Show

Image
(Created with recycled plastic caps) 

This year my principal asked US - the music, librarian, and P.E. teacher to hold a Literacy night for students and families to celebrate the Arts. It was wonderful. We centered the night around Eric Carle. The posts below contain all the artwork. Each grade level had two projects on display. One was inspired from an Eric Carle book and another from an Art concept.

 P.E. -  The P.E teacher did a "Book Walk" with the students in the gym. 
Image
 The music teacher held a powerpoint showing in the auditorium of each grade enterprising a musical piece or poem of Eric Carle.

The librarian held a  Book Fair in the Library.

 To add to the excitement... there was a scavenger hunt the night of the Art Show. The students had to find all the Hungry Caterpillars and mark down the type of Artwork they were by. This encouraged parents and students to look at ALL the Artwork at the Show.
