Children's Book

My favorite children's lesson plan would be this fun one I found online. It is an interactive story with Clifford The Big Red Dog. This story keeps the children interested by having their opinion in the very "book." The lesson plan was from the Scolastic website. This is the picture the kids would cut out and color after their interactive story.

My Monster Ball

This is sound that I created out of clay. A good extension activity for this would be to have the children make different shapes out of clay, they could also make differnt angles. This would fit in well with math or just basic shapes.


My Project-

Max & Kellen's Lesson

The Lesson Kellen & I worked on was alot of fun because it was challenging but when you finished the project you felt like you really accomplished something.


Extension- The students can draw using vanishing point a scene from the civil war in relation to their history class.


My Project-

My Strach Art

Strach Art is a very Unique experience for students. I have only done scratch art twice in my life and both times I really loved it.

Extension Activity- I think a fun thing to do is have the students draw their favorite memory of a sunny summer day, right when the get to school in the fall.

Holly and Rachel's Lesson

Grade Level- 4th

Lesson- Pastel Landscapes

Goals- *to give the students an experience with blending one or more colors.
*To introduce students to blend colors in a landscape.
*To show students how to successfully shade an object.

Objectives-
1. Art Production-Students will construct a landscape with pastels and use different blending techniques.
2. Art History-Students will recognize the different forms of pastels and will be able to incorporate their patterns into their own work.
3. Cognitive-Students will demonstrate their knowledge of Pastels by creating their own pattern into a landscape and be able to blend colors.

My Thoughts- I dominnated this lesson! I am not the best artist as you can see by my project photo's but this one I felt really confident about and if I can do this this well I'm sure that the fourth graders will be having an outstanding time.

Extension Activity-I think a good extension activity to this project would be to have the students do would be something having to do with the ocean in science class, maybe have them draw what they think the ocean would look like and then the next day go through and actually show them what it does look like.

Nicole and Ayssa's Lesson

Nicole and Alyssa used the weather and the seasons to their advantage in their fun filled lesson. That was the first time I have ever used water colors and it was awesome. I wish I would have gotten the chance to do that in grade school!

Grade Level- K-2nd

Lesson Name- The Four Seasons Window

Elements of Design- Line Color Texture

Goals- *The instructors hope to introduce students to the different colors and the changes a tree goes through durning different seasons, by introducing them to those changes.
*The instructors will illustrate to students multiple kinds of media can be used in a sigle work of art.
*The instuctors will show students how they can mix primary and secondary colors to make alot of different colors.

Objectives-
1. Art Production- Students will learn how to use multiple media to make an art project
2. Cognitive and Functional- Students will be able to notice an annual change in trees that can be related to the changes in their own school years.
3. Psychomotor and Multisensory- Students will discuss how the changing happens from season to season.

My Thoughts- This project was set at just the right difficulty for this age group. I think that the students would be challenged both mentally and in using their motor skills. I also think they would be really proud of there results. I will be using this lesson in my classroom.

Extension Activity- I think a fun extension activity would be to use the same concept only paint the different bi-omes such as the tundra, rainforest, desert ect. That can be used in science class.
