WILD THINGS!!
One of the best things about teaching is working with someone that is easy and fun to collaborate with. The art teacher I work with shared a beautiful lesson around the book, Where the Wild Things Are. After reading the book in class, my first graders were each given a large sheet of drawing paper that was folded into thirds. In the top box they drew the head of their favorite animal and switched papers. On their friends paper, they drew the body of an animal in the second box. After switching papers again, they drew the legs of an animal to complete the wild thing. I'm so amazed by the whimsy, beauty, and character each creature developed.
And now as Max says in the story..."Let the Wild Rumpus Start!"
