Edward Hynes Lakeview
2nd Grade - Social Emotional Learning & Visual Art
Mr. Adam & Ms. Lyons
Ms. Lyons 2nd grade class discussed the connection between their local community and Mardi Gras. Students were asked to reflect upon what a float representing themselves may look like if they were to ride in KID smART Krewe of YOU. Their float needed to include a representation of their interests, an overall theme, and a personalized dubloon.
Some students were interested in designing a flashy float, while others were more focused on what their float riders would throw to their community. Being able to distinguish what their community would benefit from was something students felt passionately about. Students pointed out that Mardi Gras is all about neighbors having fun and helping one another.
KID smART's Krewe of YOU throws:
beads
food
stuffed animals
clothing
king cake
money
homes
smiles
Mr. Adam & Ms. Lyons were very proud at the empathy their creative students are able to express and the community needs that they are able to recognize.
