Mural

Today in K1 we created a mural based on our poem from last week. The poem is: Rickety tickety bumblebee, will you say your name for me? We had the children tear paper to create a meadow with grass, flowers, bugs, bumblebees, clouds, sun, and butterflies. The children did such a nice job and we even had them write the poem themselves to post on the mural. Alexis and I took students to seperate tables and asked them to sound out the words and use their best handwriting to write the letter themselves on the paper. When the children would make a mistake such as a capital letter in the middle of a sentence or a backwards "S" we would use "Mike's magic tape." I found that the children were very proud of their work and they were eager to write in their very best handwriting. I was so proud of all of them and their work. We hung the mural outside the classroom and we will show it off tomorrow night for the open house. We are having so much fun in our classroom and I am really looking forward to implementing the skills and projects that I learn about in my college courses
