I can't figure out why when I tried to turn around the photos in the photo wizard program they cam up right side up. Then when I go to place them here they turn around again! Anyway, as you can see their are variations project out comes! As you can see here most would cut out the entire chameleon but, some ran out of time or had trouble with the smaller fine motor skills of cutting the triangles out for the toes! One even kept cutting even though he had cut enough, he discovered that tape would do the job of fixing some over cuts. I let him continue to tape even though he didn't need too. Using the tape dispenser isn't an easy skill for a Kindergarten, I was impressed! Next I will definitely have this student STOP before he does too much to his project! He doesn't know when to stop!
I' ve created this blog just for fun!!!! Artwork will be displayed and the process I've used with my students at my home where I teach summer art classes!!

A Color of His Own-Kindergarten Collage
This year I have two extra classes I teach besides the regular classes that are all Kindergarten and First Grade. One of the Extra classes needs to be taught in the regular Kindergarten classroom because there is an other class that Peggy teachers down in the art room at the same time. With this extra class I don't need to "follow" the curriculum per say, I could go in different directions, try new things, even do experiments! However, after working with this class for three class times I realized they there are some special needs children that may need extra time learning the basic skills like cutting, hand washing, general direction following. etc. The only hard part is doing projects that aren't as messy as those we do in the art room. Here are a few of their resent pieces.
