PICTURES 4TH GRADE ART - CHEROUNY Shown below are a few classroom examples of paintings of eggs that were made to show how students might imagine disguising them in different environments. They had read an illustrated book called “The Quiet Egg” and talked about local and imaginary eggs that could have certain colored shells to be hidden from predators.  This was a fun project because there are birds migrating and laying eggs now.    Ms. Cherouny also shared other 4th grade student learning in a comic book format known as comic style.
