This week the Sky Class was looking closely at everything and working on details.
We practiced our fine motor skills by...
linking keys onto a pipe cleaner,
performing scissors tricks,
learning different techniques in paint,
digging,
closely observing,
and drawing in detail.
Even in blocks we worked in detail to...
build high,
build low,
and tell stories.
In the afternoons with Ms. Kadota, we've also been using our fingers with puppets to tell stories.
Our new mini magnets helped us tell stories with lots of detail. We needed to look closely at the scenery and the characters in each set then use our fingers to move pieces and tell our story.
Even during our free moments, we re-read our favorite books, re-tell them,
and look at the details in the pictures to help us.
Other goings on this week also helped us focus on the details like...
another rainy day, another bristle brush person made!
Mr. Johnson brought different gourds and corn for us to observe closely and draw this week in art.
It was our first try at observational drawing and drawing what we see.

Finally, in collage, we had a chance to try out all the techniques we have learned,
even create our own,
and come to represent more animals with collage!
