First grade read this book in their library time and the wonderful Jennifer Milstead suggested we turn it into an art project. Once I saw the book and illustrations I was so excited to get started! The class spent about 10 minutes or so talking about all of the facial expressions and body language that the illustrator used when drawing the crayons. Then the class had time to decide what emotion their crayon was going to have when it thought about coloring. Students used sharpie and crayon and watercolor for this project. We talked a little about highlight and shadows as well while we were finishing up and coloring in. These little crayons have //so// much personality and I love that students get an opportunity to free draw in the thought bubbles! Posted in [|1st grade], [|ELA] | [|Leave a reply]
