Spring Art and Shapes Lesson

This picture is not finished but shows the project we began today.  Students glued strips of green paper for stems, then folded tissue paper squares around the end of a pencil to make flowers.  They traced their hands and cut that out to hold their bouquets!  These should brighten up our hallways and will also be great to send home for parents! (Thanks to Pinterest for the idea!)
Today I talked about shapes with my Kindergarten students.  I found this great YouTube Video about shapes to begin class with.  The kids loved the song and it helped them get excited about our shape art project (see below).

Today my Kindergarten students practiced tracing shapes, outlining them with marker and coloring them in with the matching crayon color.  We also colored the background with crayon.  I talked to the students about "one-direction" coloring and showed samples of what one-direction looks like (and how scribbling is lots of directions).
