We were SCIENTISTS of course! The class went outside to draw a magical maple tree! We practiced closely observing the tree for details (color, texture, size) so we could draw exactly what we noticed as scientists. After reading the book, Tap the Magic Tree, we decided that the maple tree as we sketched it today was a summer tree. We plan to sketch it again during each passing season to create a cool book. Yipppeee! The class also learned to compliment each other's work and creativity. We noticed that every tree drawn was unique based on the kindergarten artist and what they saw. It was so fun because we learned about the seasons, observation (looking closely to notice details), and using the real crayon color of things to draw exactly what we saw. Mrs. Dupuis was super proud of us because we were creative, tried our best, and were very focused despite being in recess territory. : )
Love,
Mrs. Dupuis' Kindergarten Team
