LOOK!

We read Look! Look! Look! by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace in our writers workshop today. In this book, the mice learned how to look at art through different textures, colors and shapes. This was a great connection which lead to discussion of mental images or "pictures in our heads". We decided to find a bubble spot and create our own mental image of items we see in our classroom.
Kayla creates her image of items she finds in the classroom and writes a description of each one.
Mason creates his image of the ceiling vents blowing air as it gushes on him.
Paige creates a picture of our alphabet wall.
Corbin creates his own mental image of our popcorn word wall.
