Writers Workshop: Writing with Illustrations

This is a four week illustration unit to help kindergarten writers become confident in their

drawing and coloring skills. They will learn how to draw with shapes and people with different facial expressions, hairstyles, and skin tones.

This illustration study sets kindergarten students up for success for the rest of the year during Writers Workshop. Students can reference their directed drawings folder throughout the year if they forget how to draw an object already taught.
**Today, the children will explore with pattern blocks in preparation for purposeful use of these materials for the next lesson on how to create a shape person.

KinderMath: Identify Patterns
The kids will work with colored cubes to create patterns as well as doing a variety of patterned body movements. (stomp, clap, clap stomp, clap, clap...)  (clap, wave, clap, wave...) We are continuing this lesson from Friday.

Fire Safety: The kids will learn about the importance of 911.
