Morning Work

I made die-cut frogs for our tree this month :)

I added cards from HERE.

 

Grab the (green) paper here. 

Check out my post all about these drawing cards HERE.

I have used these cards from pre-k through 5th grade & 6th graders :)

Directed Drawing:Turkeys Kinderpond Style

I did these directed drawings

within small groups.

I have two small groups. 

I drew a circle/oval in the middle of the paper.

Then I went around the table and 

had one child give me a color.

I drew the feathers that color.

Then around again for what kind of lines 

we should use to decorate the feathers.

Then we added the eyes, beak, waddle, and legs.

This child's photo is there if

you look very closely.

Here was group two:
