The 3rd graders have been very busy with their new art project. Ms. Molly started the class by handing out books with a common theme; animals. After five minutes, or so, Ms. Molly collected the books back and turned on the Smartboard. As a class we discussed what the books were about animals and much of the literature were poems. After some scaffolding (provided by Ms. Molly) the students established what the new project was...an ABC poem book depicting animals! Again, as a class we listed an animal for each letter of the alphabet on the Smartboad. After the students finished this task they were then instructed to write their names on a post-it note and to also list their top three animal choices. While making their decisions the students were also informed that they will be drawing a picture and creating a poem about their selected animals. At the end of this project all of the students' artwork will be bonded into an ABC poetry book! Below are a few student examples of the animal drawings. We focused on drawing the basic shapes of the animals' silhouettes. Though some students were discouraged because they didn't like their drawings I kept the students on task and encouraged them to not stop. The drawings are too cute and made my day a little brighter ...I'm sure they'll make you giggle-Enjoy!
