It's been awhile! But, I'm back and ready to blog about the tons of things we've been doing in our class.
I've come to realize that I incorporate a lot of art into my class. I think it's such a good way for kids to gain confidence and challenge their imaginations. I literally try to tie art into every subject. Maybe I just should have become an art teacher...oh well!
I read the kids a story called, "It Looked Like Spilt Milk." It's a cool short story about these clouds that look like different objects. In the morning I had the kids smoosh blobs of orange paint and we waited for it to dry until the end of the day. I encouraged the students to use their imagination when they looked at their blobs and figure out what they looked like. We used a black marker and added details to complete our pictures. Most of them turned out really cool!
