I just adore my 1st graders. On Friday, with Mrs. Weidman's class, we had such a nice conversation about a new project we started. The kids really liked looking at Swiss painter Paul Klee's "Cat with Bird". We talked about how silly it is that the cat has a bird on it's forehead, among other things relating to the painting and life as a cat.
The kids asked if they could draw a bird on their cats forehead or on top of it's head. My answer: OF COURSE YOU CAN...but draw it in pencil first to make sure you're happy with it :-)
I had some really nice scraps of paper left over and decided to make each of the kids a sketchbook to take home.
