We had another wonderful class yesterday afternoon!  We provided tips and tricks on how to incorporate clay in your classroom curriculum.  It proved to be a great stress reliever as well when kneading the clay to get the air bubbles out.  We took inspiration from Dr. Seuss' One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and created clay fish.  It was so inspirational to see how different they all turned out.

 

We were so thankful for those teachers who participated as it is a busy week with report cards due next Monday.  They all seemed to be enjoying themselves.

 

Next month we will focus on the PICTURES FIRST approach in Writer's Workshop with an emphasis on poetry.  We will create Eric Carle inspired illustrations as well as learn the art of printmaking.  We will finish class with an acrostic poem.  

Hope to see you there!

Mo Willems Class

This was our most informational class to date.  We took teachers on a journey through a fully integrated art unit and tied it to Mo Willems.  Participants created their own Mo Willems comic strip.  We even had groups of teachers perform a Mo Willem's inspired Reader's Theater.  Everyone did a knock out performance!

Our March class will focus on clay!  Hope to see you there!
