Last week my class made these adorable frog artworks. We read a frog based story that complemented our unit of work on water. I cannot remember the title, but when I am back at school I will find it! Here are just a few of them. I started with a 'directed drawing' and then guided the students through completing their artwork with oil pastel and a thin paint wash. We mounted them on thin card and then drew a few white oil pastel clouds on them also. My students loved making these and they were so proud of themselves. You can find the lesson details from my program page HERE Have you completed any frog themed artworks? - Mel

We are about finished with our shape study (introduction/review). Most of my kiddos come in knowing their colors and shapes, but it’s fun to do a bit of a review, just to be certain. One of my awesome Kindergarten colleagues uses the Roger Hargreaves books to review shapes. She even has the most AMAZING puppets that another colleague made for her. I wish I had a picture, but you have to trust me that they are adorable. They are on my summer to-do list! So each week, we read one of the Roger Hargreaves books. (These were some of my favorites as a child, and when my oldest was little, I started scooping them up again!) After we read the book (which have great character ed lessons), I drew the character and brainstormed other things that have the same shape. Here are some of our charts: I’m missing a few of my charts, but I’ll add them as soon as I snap pictures! I LOVE seeing the kiddos refer to these anchor charts and I LOVE seeing them trying to draw the characters! They are so stinkin’ cute!!
