Black and White

 

These are zebras, as seen by a group of 8 year olds. Each day or so my students write a paragraph- with me -about an animal. To do that writing they use several on-line and book "sources," organizing their information into a coherent and respectable paragraph, demonstrating an on-going involvement with terms that we are learning in our animal science/ELD unit. After the paragraph is completed I try to lead them in a directed drawing exercise. This is the result of our first really nice work. I enjoy these as possible masks. They are just terrific.Especially the negative space.

Each child in my room brought a signed, thorough permission so that I could use their art in this blog. Peers of mine are welcome to access this by: 1)walking to my room and asking to see them, 2) asking via some communication form other than directly to my face. These permissions will be filed with the ed. leader- as indicated to me was necessary. This follows the process I have used in the past excepting prior I sent the permissions to the district.
Phew...
