Bear Books! 
In my kindergarten class we made our own non-fiction bear books. We made pages about what a bear looks like, what it eats, and where it lives. We would read a non-fiction book and students would ask questions and make comments. We had excellent discussions about bears. After the students would go back to their spots and would use what they learned to draw a picture. We would talk about the features of bears and the colours they have. Then students would incorporate the details into their drawing. The students loved it and it was a great way from them to express their learning. They all did a really excellent job. I was very pleased.

When I need to have a little time to myself I like to go to my art room and sit amongst all the bits and bobs and make crafts. Lately I have been making cards. I like to find a good playlist and listen to my music and make my cards. I find that the mood I am in or the songs I am listening to influences my cards. 

                 

I love this picture. It was taken right before the ice started to form on Shane Lake. I like how a picture can bring you right back to a specific time. This picture reminds me of the cold clear day it was taken on. I can even imagine the smells.

For me it reminds me of the cold day I was walking my dog but it could bring up different feelings for other people. 

This is one of the art projects I did with my Kindergarten class for Halloween. It was a two day project but the students loved it and they turned out really well.

                                

First you need paper plates and then you hole punch around the edges. Then you paint the students hands except for the thumb. They press their hands down to form the spider. Then we set them aside to dry. The next day you glue on goggly eyes. Then you take white yarn and weave it through the holes to make the web.
