I jump into Art Show projects right after Christmas break. If you have ever done an All School art show...you know how much work it is. Even though it is still a few months away...you need the time to prepare. Some projects you dreamed up might not work out...kids are out of school...snow days...etc..etc. So my kindergarten students painted paper & added texture to it last week. This week the created the collage birds. I think we may work one more time on it...adding a bit more sparkle!!!
So proud of my first graders who participated in our Rain forest research. They did a wonderful job! http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rainforest-for-Primary-Teachers
This lesson is inspired by Henri Rousseau's painting, Surprised! Storm in the Forest. I love this lesson for many reasons... First, the results are always great. Second, it is a great directed drawing lesson for first graders.... they all draw the same steps to complete a whole tiger, but they have no assistance, and feel proud and great at the end! Which results in my favorite reason I love this project... It is a creative confidence boost! You know they're proud when they work so hard to make it look fabulous! Pencil first... We draw a tiger based on Ed Emberley. U-shape head, long nose... then I showed them how to draw the tiger looking like he is crouching, ready to pounce. To do that we draw 2 paws, (large potatoes) at the bottom of the page, Draw the body from paw, all the way around to other paw. Then hind legs on each side, tail... voila! Draw the green grass and branches hiding the tiger direct with green markers. Color in the leaves with crayon. Outline and color in the tiger! I would like to add... I do not think there is anything wrong with a directed drawing lesson for young elementary students. They have no strategies of how to draw unless they follow steps a few times. Once they understand how to look at something and break it down into simple shapes... And realizing there are millions of ways to draw something, they will have the tools and confidence to do it without directions. I always say, "YES" when a student wants to draw something differently. A project like this, they usually are not changing much, they want it to look similar. They drew 100% of their tiger by themselves, which for some, was a huge accomplishment!

These habitat sorting mats are perfect for science centers! Students sort the provided animals into the correct habitats, record their names, and write about the characteristics that make them well suited for the habitat, but less well-suited for the other habitat in the pair. -- I’ve included habitat mats, twelve animals, and recording sheets for the following habitat pairings: • Tundra & Desert • Pond & Ocean • Grassland & Temperate Forest • Rain Forest & Mountain There is also a recording sheet option that includes all eight habitats and a writing prompt. This is a great choice for a small group activity. -- I love that these centers get kids discussing and reasoning about animal characteristics and adaptations. The hands-on nature of the activity also makes it accessible for all your learners. -- This activity supports the following Next Generation Science Standard: 2-LS4-1. Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. See all my science resources here . -- If you and your students enjoy this resource, please consider following my store. Freebies and new products are posted regularly.
