This is a simple project I do with both Kindergarten and 1st grade. I'll admit that I got this lesson from my mentor teacher from when I did my student-teaching. The kids love it, and it packs a lot of different Art concepts into one lesson so it's been a real win-win situation for me! I begin by teaching students about the primary colors, and we discuss different shapes too. I let the kids come up and draw different shapes on the board. Then they get to make 3 different birds from construction paper. So, in one lesson we cover our cutting skills, our primary colors, math-related shapes, and collage. They then paint or color in the background. I love the results!
I'll be posting more updates soon...Just taking some of the downtime from my Technology In-Service to catch up on all the projects I've done this year. This lesson is great for winter time because you can incorporate science and talk about wintertime birds- (listen to sound clips, discuss physical characteristics-color, migration patterns, food, etc) that is, if you want to get more involved in the lesson. I didn't do all of that...but those are my off the cuff ideas at the moment! Have fun, and, I'll be posting more soon!
