Map of My HeartIn this project, students drew a heart, and they filled it with drawings of people and activities important to them. They discussed their drawings with their mentor teachers, and then wrote about one of the elements in their art. This book includes their original drawings, their writings, and their hearts!

Giraffes CAN Dance!Workshop leads Stacy Sims shared Giles Andreae's charming picture book, Giraffes Can't Dance, in the classroom. Afterward, children engaged in music, movement, and art activities to explore the many ways that animals might actually dance. They wrote sentences to describe their imaginative visions.

My Animal StoriesGroups of K-3 students used felt, feathers, and other craft materials to sculpt an imaginary animal. They then discussed where their animal lives,
how it communicates, what it eats, and what kinds of adventures it might have. Students then drew a picture of their animal and described it in writing. (This 6 MB file might take a few seconds to download.) Compiled by Emily Felt |
