We are off to a great start in Writer's Workshop.
Our first unit is Drawing.
This week we've been reading GREAT drawing mentor texts...
and learning how to draw lines, shapes, and faces.
The children *loved* roll and recording different lines with partners.
Great fine motor practice!
(if they rolled the ?, students could try any line we've learned, or teach their partner a new line)
This week we will focus on drawing details
and "filling the white space".
Looking forward to watching these amazing artists and writers grow!
UPDATE!!
I have created a Doodle Book to capture your students' growth in drawing...

I LOVE the line dice! Looks like your children are loving learning how to draw. The books you used look like great resources! I'll have to up some of them because I haven't seen them before.
ReplyDeleteI think the dice are a really creative idea as well! Harold and the Purple Crayon is a real classic!
