Today, my second grade students read the book "Harold and the Purple Crayon" by Crockett Johnson. I love, love, love this book. If you haven't given it a tumble, I encourage you to check it out. It speaks to the creativity of a young child and his imagination and where his purple crayon takes him.
Students were given a sheet of rolled newsprint and a purple crayon of their own. Students were encouraged to develop their own story or journey with their purple crayon. After students finish their drawing, they will write a brief story based upon their drawing.
We saw race cars
Families and homes
More race tracks...with loopy loops
A forest with trees
And students eager to show each other their creations.
What a great blog! We will love seeing what your artists are up to.
