Last week, we completed some pictures based on the artwork of Eric Carle. We worked with a grade 4 class in the regular program. On the first session we filled many pieces of paper with lots of paint - in stripes, swirls, shapes, patterns, etc. On the second session we cut the papers up to make shapes. We glued the shapes together to make elephants, horses, suns, mice and other designs. It was great to see the two groups working side by side and learning from each other. One of my students loved it so much that he gets the glue stick out on his own now at work time so he can continue to practice his new skill. Until last week, he had no interest at all in cut and paste activities.
