| A ticket for the Imagination Train |
This morning we looked at the Caldecott Honor Book Freight Train by Donald Crews. Then we boarded the Imagination Train and went for a ride. I really hoped we would leave the cold and snow behind and head for Hawaii, but the children wanted to visit Trainland, the jungle, and the zoo. Our last stop was Cupcake Land, where everyone got a big, imaginary cupcake.
The artwork in Freight Train was our inspiration for art today. We tried out Donald Crews style and used stencils and spatter painting to create our own pictures.
It was Zachary’s special day and he brought a camera for show & tell. He snapped some pictures and even made a video of the class, which the children took turns watching. The children also helped Zachary’s mom read the short, funny story But Not the Hippopotamus by Sandra Boynton.
Thank you to Claire for the help today and for the yummy snack of veggies, cheese and crackers!
