Leaves of Grass

Here is a project recently finished by the first-graders. I asked them to imagine they were standing in a field and suddenly a UFO came down and zapped them with a shrink ray, and they shrunk down so small that the grass seemed huge.



They drew the grass overlapping to give a sense of space


Then we brainstormed and named the different creepy-crawlies they would see down in the grass.


They drew in the bugs and then colored them with crayons. I don't know why, but I can never convince young kids that the sky comes all the way to the ground, and doesn't stop in a line.

These were made by Weilan, Kenneth, Joshua W., and Juviannadean.
