2nd Grade Mixed-Up Chameleons

These cute little buggers were created by the 2nd graders. We defined a pattern, looked at patterns, even shared patterns that we've seen at home or in other places. The students then created patterns with paint markers on construction paper. We read "The Mixed-Up Chameleon" by Eric Carle. Next, step by step, we fringed the paper, drew and cut shapes, and stapled and glued these reptiles together. Our final touch was adding the tongue.
