For the art lesson, we reviewed different types of lines, how to press hard and evenly when coloring with crayon to create a wax barrier for the paint in a typical crayon resist. Week two, most students finished painting using tempera cakes.
This was a fun way to review different kinds of lines for my upper el. students. (I did this with third through fifth grades). I kicked of this lesson by reading Crazy Hair Day by Barney Saltzberg. It's a wonderful story about Stanley who gets all ready for crazy hair day but then, just as he walks into class, he hears the teacher announce, "...and Crazy Hair Day is next Friday." Even his best friend makes fun of him saying, "is that a hair do or a hair don't!" Mortified, Stanley hides out in the bathroom. With each class, we talked about how teasing can hurt, and what the other students could have done instead. Then we brainstormed what Stanley could have done differently. At the end of the story, I asked the students to predict what might happen when Stanley finally returns to class? Inevitably, someone always guesses that when he walks in, the whole class has done something crazy to their own hair to help him feel better about his mistake. Yes, that's it.
