When my oldest daughter was a toddler, we went on a nature walk to hunt down some amazing fall leaves on Thanksgiving day. (Remember, Thanksgiving is in October here in Canada). We found tons of brightly coloured leaves, but I didn't know what to do with them. I ended up drawing little happy faces with names under them with a sharpie, and then we set them out on the Thanksgiving table as place cards. And even though they weren't fancy, they were so adorable! Grandpa's leaf had a smiley face with a beard. Grandma's leaf had glasses and curly hair.

I've been meaning to upload the photos of the finished 'birthday tracker' wall display for a while and am finally getting around to it! The kiddos have really enjoyed this design. I was unsure of my decision to mount the display at their level - afraid that they'd get too rambunctious and pull the names off - but they've done a fabulous job. In fact, it's been fun to see them perusing the names before class, during free time, etc. and they're always super careful. My assistant, Maddy, and I love helping our preschoolers find their name, as well as match the other name plates to their classmates. Most of them can recognize which circle is their own, but it's great to see them learning how to recognize/identify letters and sounds to figure out what the other name plates say! If you want to know how I created this display, be sure to check out the full post --> Safari/Jungle Theme Birthday Wall.

Kindergarten/First Grade When I begin teaching at a new school I like to start with the Elements of Art to get a foundation established before working on a final project. With the primary grades my focus is Color, Line and Shape and Pattern. I usually begin with a lesson on color where the students mix the secondary colors from the primary colors and then create their own color wheels. After learning about Color we explored the element "Line". In the kindergarten and first grade classes we discussed vertical, horizontal and diagonal and then the students explored patterning using colored popsicle sticks. They were encouraged to work together to create an abstract line "collaboration". The kindergarteners often have a hard time with the concept of working as a team. It takes a little prodding sometimes but we eventually end up with the table or carpet covered with a giant abstract design. When the time is up we take a moment to observe and talk about their work. Kindergarten Abstract Line Collaborations Kindergarten collaboration First Grade Abstract Line Collaborations After they've had practice making patterns with colored sticks each student made their own abstract line collage using paper "lines". The kindergarteners used colored lines on black and the first graders had grey backgrounds with colored lines. They could also add black lines for accents.

The goal of an “All About Me” theme is usually to help classmates get to know each other better, but when your only student is your own child, that puts a bit of a different spin on things. For our All About Me theme we focused on emotions, family, and learning more about ourselves. Here […]
One of the things I've missed doing in the last three years before I began my current position, was learning about Matariki with my very own class. Last year and the year before I got to do a bit with classes I was relieving in. I've blogged previously about Matariki. Matariki - an overview of a unit of work from 2012 when I had a Year 5-8 class. Matariki Art from 2016 when I was relieving in a couple of Year 5/6 classes. A touch of Matariki for 2017 when I relieved in a Y3/4 last year, which I recently published. The school I now work at has a dedicated Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori in Week 9 of Term 2, designed to coincide with Matariki. On the Wednesday we had Matariki workshops. Our children were put into vertically mixed aged groups (Y1-8) to go around classes to do: te reo Maori making rakau learning rakau games and songs waiata making a decorative Matariki karearea kite weaving paper Matariki fish. those paper plates with wool stars a colaborative Matariki mural But before that day, a whole week before, I started my Matariki art. Many students from Year 3-8 were off at a sports day, so the remains of two senior classes were distributed between the five junior classes. So for the afternoon I decided to do art. My motivation was this photo: And you can see another variation at this blog post: Matariki Whetu - Stars for Matariki on the blog Nat Gets Nifty. I simply put some A3 cartridge in a small pile and cut long triangles. I then demonstrated how to use chalk to draw the initial design and how to use the pastels to get the students motivated. Then I let them loose. My next Matariki idea was a gluing activity. This activity from Room 8 Pinehill School's Matariki Art Work blog post was my inspiration. So off to David's Emporium I went and I purchased five sheets of different coloured sparkling paper. I cut these into triangles of various size and put each colour in a different bag. On the Friday we did this activity, I drew enough stars on black paper with chalk and roughly cut them out. I emptied each bag into its own tray (thank you Chinese takeaways) and I have some PVA glue ready to go in the smallest deli containers from New World. I demonstrated how to do this, stipulating that they shouldn't touch the chalk with the sparkly triangles and the sparkly triangles shouldn't touch each other. My top tip was to start at each of the five tips of the stars before gluing back towards the middle. Then came Matariki workshop day. My motivation was Matariki kites and the karearea (aka the New Zealand falcon as seen on the $20 note. I needed to make the activity something that children from NE to Year 8 could do. Thank you Twinkl for having feather templates!!! I downloaded those and allowed the students to choose the feathers they wanted to colour in. I had a lot of colouring pencils which I put out on the trays from the Chinese takeaways and let the kids go for it. For good measure I put on Hirini Melbourne's classic album He Waiata ma te Katoa as a background. I was privileged to have two parents come into help me. They had the job of cutting out the feathers. And I had the job of gluing the feathers onto the template, which was a very crude bird outline on black A2 paper. We ended up making two karearea. I then found two circular Maori themed mandala designs for my a couple of students in my class to colour in for the head. And then we added a coloured beak. Alas I forgot to take a photo of this completed in the end. When my class came back to me after lunch, I got them to explain what they had done in the other classes. Inspired by what the other teachers had done, I decided I wanted to do some activities again with my own class for our display. I was sure I could figure out the paper plate activity, but the fish paper weaving required me to get a tutorial from one of my colleagues. So our first step was to paint the paper for our paper weaving (a great way to use up the paint in my New World deli containers before the term break). I also gave them bits of sponge to splodge other colours on with and I sprinkled glitter over them. The idea is to cut them into strips. I've used the width of a medium width $2 Shop ruler to get a consistent size. The paper plates are for the stars. The children coloured them in with crayons and then painted over them with black paint. Once they were very dry (several days later) we scratched pictures into the paint and I cut seven slits in around the edges of each plates. I tied the wool on and the kids weave the wool through the slits to get the star shape. Obviously, they have to do a wee bit of problem solving. When the first colour ends I tie on another colour. Our stars are just that little bit different to what they did in the other classes on purpose. All those painted A3s up above were destined to be our Matariki fish. I cut out each strip of paper after ruling them all up to the 2.5cm width of a ruler. Each person needs six strips - three of one colour, three of another colour - as above. In the pictures below, you will see that we folded each strip in half. Then the weaving begins. When we got to this point, I staped the fish. The teacher I learned this from was using glue sticks, but I found it didn't work and went for the stapler for expediency. Then I showed the children how to use draw fishy fin shapes on the flappy bits of the weaving and cut it out to get a fishier looking fish. Eventually I got around to putting up the display.... I forgot to take a photo after I added the fish, But it looked absolutely awesome - I may be a bit biased though.
