Mardi Gras at CE

Some of our first grade CES students made table decorations for the Mardi Gras party at the Senior Activities Center in Ebensburg.   Mrs. Davis’s first grade art classes started by watching a YouTube video about the history of Mardi Gras and how it is celebrated around the world.  The video was made by a first grade class from New Orleans, Louisiana.  The students created masks using their handprints as a template, and decorated them with paint, sequins and feathers.  They used the official Mardi Gras color scheme: purple, yellow and green.  The masks were put in vases on the tables at the Ebensburg Senior Activities Center with colorful beads and trinkets.  Everyone there played with them and loved them so much they even took some home to their friends who were too sick to make it to the party! The student’s art brought a lot of smiles to a lot of faces!  The students and Mrs. Davis had a lot fun!
