In case you haven't heard, K1 has been learning about the author and illustrator Jan Brett! We have been reading her beautiful books that are inspired by her travels to different countries. Her favorite animal to draw is a hedgehog, she also has a few as pets. Yesterday we watch a video of her drawing a hedgehog from her website and followed her step by step. Today they traced over their drawings with Sharpie and water colored. I'm usually a stickler for their drawings being "accurate" but today I let them choose what color(s) to paint. I've never seen more colorful animals in my LIFE! :)
During Daily 5, Listen to Reading, they listened to some more Jan Brett stories!
