Origami Dog

Trevor belongs to an awesome children's Book Club. At each meeting, they discuss the book they've been reading, then do a craft or activity that is inspired by something in the book. They finish with a snack that is also inspired by the book. It is great fun and Trevor always looks forward to going. When Trevor first joined, he and I would read the books together out loud so that I could help with vocabulary and check his comprehension. A few months ago, he told me that he wanted to start reading the books by himself, then have me read them by myself, and then discuss them together. So that's what we're doing now. During our discussion, part of our ritual is to try and guess what the Book Club activity and snack will be. Our most recent book was Beverly Cleary's classic, Henry Huggins. We brainstormed possibilities for the activity. Something to do with nightcrawlers or fishing? Maybe a football craft? A mock pet show? Nope. None of those. When I picked Trevor up from Book Club, he proudly showed me his origami dog, inspired by Ribsy. But, as Trevor was quick to point out, Ribsy is not white. He is brown with darker patches. I asked Trevor if he would like to make a brown version of the dog that would look more like Ribsy. He thought that was a great idea. I got out some brown paper and cut two squares, one for Trevor and one for me, then he taught me how to make it. Step 1: Fold the square in half diagonally. Step 2: Fold down the corners of the triangle to form the dog's ears. Step 3: Fold up the remaining point of the triangle to form the dog's snout. Step 4: Add eyes, nose, mouth and spots. Here's Trevor's interpretation of Ribsy: And here's mine: Our next book is Mr. Popper's Penguins. I can't wait to see what the activity and snack will be!

1st grade Basket of Apples

The past couple of weeks, 1st grade has been working on their basket of apples project! This has quite a few steps for these littles, but they've been doing well! Here's what we used in this project. 2 9x12" 90lb paper for the apples and background (or construction paper for the background) little apple tracers pencils, black crayons, white pastels, construction paper crayons tempera cakes 4x6 brown paper Day 1: I demonstrated how to trace the apples, and how to do it so they'll fit on the paper. After, they trace them with a pencil, they traced them with a black crayon, and then they could paint. Kids love painting y'all!!! We talked about how to not use a ton of paint, but they're just 6 year olds, so they tend to use a little much! That's ok though! After I told them to wet their apples with clean water first, that went a bit better. Anywho... today's goal is to get your apples drawn, traced, and painted. If you get done early with your apples, you can start on your background. Some classes painted their backgrounds, and others made them out of construction paper. (I think my personal favorite, is the construction paper one) They of course want to do the painted one! That adds another day though ;( (I tell them it's ok if you get outside of the lines because we're going to cut them out) Day 2: I demonstrate how to cut your apples out, how to draw out the basket, and how to create your background. That's where it gets a little tricky! That's a lot of steps for these guys and girls. I also talk about adding highlights and shadows. Some got to that step, others didn't. Like I said, it's a lot to fit in one class! Here's a few that did a really great job though! Madline Mollie W Gyanna Bria Keith Isaias Here are some from Mrs. Walker's class!
