I just love Kindergarten! It's taken me a long time to say that. When I first started at the elementary school I had such a hard time coming up with lesson plans for these 5 and 6 year olds. Now I set up stations to keep them moving and busy. They have a short attention span and are still developing their fine motor skills. For these cardinals I demonstrated a step by step drawing and also gave them a step by step handout at the drawing station. They outlined everything with crayon to create a resist for the watercolors at another station. I set up two other stations, one with a coloring page and the other with puzzles. Every bird is unique just like my students.
