I love the illustrations in Where the Wild Things Are. Mr. Maurice using such wonderful texture throughout the entire book! His monsters are morphs of all kinds of different creatures. I use my zoom on my Elmo Projector to read and show the kids all the different textures and parts combined in each monster. We fill out the worksheet together after reading. It has them observe and practice visual texuture, and then shows them how to create it with colors. I teach the kids about tints and shades of one color (pink is red with white, burgundy is red with black) I also teach them about lighter or darker values of colors that are close on the color wheel (yellow is lighter than yellow orange but they are close in appearance and in the same family). They draw the texture with the darker color crayon of colored pencil and then overlap it with an all over color that is lighter. I caution them not to pick a color too close in value or it will hide all of the texture work. On the back, they sketch out 3 ideas for different monsters.... It also guides then through the creative writing activity. They have to explain what their monster consists of and what they are like. This is a good time to write vocabulary on the board for animal characteristics: Omnivore, Herbivore, Carnivore, Marsupial, Mammal, Reptile, Amphibian, Nocturnal, Arachnid, Insect, etc. These first 4 are mine... sorry, I love drawing monsters! I use them as examples for the kids to look at for ideas. This is the story outline for the monster above.... STUDENT EXAMPLES Faith Larry Brianna Calli M. Morgan G. Rikki S. Carmen S. Angel S.

Hello Everyone, We are in Chicago this week to celebrate the life and legacy of my husbands wonderful mom. She lost her 10 year battle with cancer on Sunday morning. We will miss her greatly, but rejoice in the truth that we will see her again. While sitting at the airport for 4 hours waiting for our plane because of weather delays, finally boarding, then deplaning because they couldn't start the engines, walking about a mile to the absolute farthest gate possible to board a new plane, and then finally taking off, I was able to put together a little symmetry unit for my sweeties. We will begin learning about fractions, but I first wanted to go over symmetry, congruent shapes, equal parts, lines of symmetry, etc. Symmetry is an important mathematical concept that actually serves as a jumping off point for many different mathematical objectives. We naturally look for balance and order in our lives, as well as in math. Symmetry can be taught with real life examples and leads beautifully in to a study of fractions. This little unit includes : 2 mini posters with definitions A hands on shape activity creating a class symme “tree” 4 visual activities 3 center activities A vocabulary word search You can get your little unit on Symmetry if you click here! :) I hope you and your kiddos enjoy this as much as I think we will! Let me know!! I'll post some pics of our life-sized symme"tree" when we get that done! Anyway, till next time, have a wonder-filled week! Joyfully! Nancy

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. --Vincent van Gogh It was by sheer coincidence that I decided to read up on the life of Vincent van Gogh while waiting for the Illustration Friday prompt to be posted online today. I'm not sure what inspired me to re-acquaint myself with his life story, but when I saw that the word this week was "star gazer" I knew that an homage to Vincent was in order. Starry Night is van Gogh's most famous painting and one of the most well-known images in modern culture. When I was in high school, I read a biography of Vincent van Gogh that included many of the letters that he wrote to his brother Theo. There's no doubt that I was motivated to read the book because of Don McLean's song "Starry, Starry Night." At the time, I was struck by the tragedy of van Gogh's life and felt overwhelming sadness that he never got to experience the artistic success during his lifetime that came after his death. But today, after reading about his life here, I felt something very different. I felt hope. Here was a man with no artistic training or obvious talent who became one of the greatest artists in history. At the urging of his brother, Theo, van Gogh taught himself to draw and then to paint. And he continued to paint through dark and difficult times when others--himself included--doubted his ability. If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. --Vincent van Gogh
