How to Draw Books

This morning we reviewed the sound /z/, students continued working on their books and we talked about how books are on one topic.  In math we learned that a hexagon has six sides and six angles, where the lines meet.  It was a little tricky finding hexagons.  Our book this afternoon was The Big Snow and we discussed how geese fly south but many birds like sparrows, cardinals and crows stay during the snow and are able to find things like seeds and worms to eat. 

After PE and afternoon snack, I introduced "How to Draw" books and we talked about using these books to learn how to draw new things!  We have been talking about how we are "growing" artists and it's important to try and not give up. Students were excited to choose something new to draw and give it a try.
