Thankful Thursday October 27, 2010

Each Thursday I have been asking the children to write what they are thankful for on our white board in the morning.  Today I was thankful for pretty fall leaves and drew one on the board.

B was thankful for snow and she created a snowy illustration. Now that it's too cold to wear shorts, she is ready to play in some snow! She might be waiting awhile.  ;)

J was thankful for action figures.  That is so him!  He doesn't like to draw, but when I said that I am putting a picture of what we draw on my blog for "Thankful Thursday" he jumped right in! He is "technologically motivated", if there is such a term!  He put down the action figure in his hand and drew him on the board, with a shield in his hand, like the real figure.

I will have to write more about our art curriculum later, but let me just say that I was pleased that we all had the confidence to draw something today and that was a small accomplishment in itself. I am thankful for that.
