K&1: "Wild Things"

This week in Kindergarten and First grade, we have been exploring different types of lines: Straight, Curved, Wavy, Broke, Thick and Thin. We started exploring these types of lines through the interactive Artist's Toolkit using the smart board. Students were able to go up to the board and find these types of lines within different works of art. We then created our own work of art using these types of lines. After we learned about types of lines, we sat on the rug and read "Where the Wild Things Are". This is one of my favorite childhood books, and the students "roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws" along with the book! While we read the book, students were able to point out different types of lines they saw in the book.

Next week, we will be creating our own "Wild Things" using the different types of lines we learned about this week! Pictures to come :)

P.S. Go play with the Artist's Toolkit  and practice finding and using lines...it really is so much fun!
