Encourage your children to use crayons to add line detail over their paint (once dry). They can draw
- vertical lines
- horizontal lines
- zig zags
- loops
- spirals
- short lines for bear fur
Help your students learn to tear paper- first in long pieces and then smaller chips. They can collage these to fill the desk for their Bear Teacher.
While tearing, model mathematical language and talk about
- how to control the paper with small tears to begin
- the size of the pieces
- the shape of the pieces
- the colors
- how to cover the space
After your Teacher Bears are finished, display them in your classroom to celebrate your students' emerging skills and creative work!
