The Tigers are super welcoming with their big smiles and good creative energy! Today was extra special as I got to tell them that we have new friends from Moonstone Preschool in Philadelphia. Immediately the questions started buzzing and they tried to make connections. They started sharing stories of who they know in the USA and if they have ever visited the country.
This was the first time the Tigers had ever made carbon transfers. I am so proud that they all took their time to cover their paper with graphite. The magic started when they began to draw. That's when they got extra excited and thought it was magic at first! Some got frustrated when the marks didn't go through, but they persevered and got it to work for them!
When we were finished we all sat down together to look at each other's artwork. The pictures are so descriptive of who the artists of, where they live, and what they like. Erik said, "I am on a bus. I am riding the bus to my home. This is big me and little me." Mikelus said, "I am walking outside and stop in the forest for the postman." Vanessa decided to make a family portrait. Leevi said that this picture is of a happy person. I love the positive image Leevi has about himself! Reno said, "a tiny baby superman is playing basketball with me." Who wouldn't want to play with you?!
Can you find the portrait of the carpetman?
Which pictures are of a happy person?
Which picture has somebody walking through an apple orchard?
We are so happy to make a collective book with our Moonstone friends!
With love,
Arlene & The Tigers
