3rd grade Penguins and Icebergs

Students got to mix tints and shades in this polar lesson featuring an iceberg, glacier and some happy penguins wearing hats. Space and shape also played a role to give this project depth and dimension. Tints and Shades: students mixed paint to create different values of a color. Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. When a color is mixed with white, a tint is created. Adding additional white paint makes lighter and lighter tints. When a color is mixed with black, a shade is created. Poles Apart by Jeanne Willis and Jarvis is a cute book about a group of penguins from the South Pole that et lost and end up at the North Pole where they meet a helpful polar bear. .Adventure awaits the unlikely friends as they make their way back to their respective poles.
