Let’s Draw a Fox! FREEBIE!

Often times I use directed drawings as early finishers.  I just keep a file of directions and students can choose which one they want to draw.

Other times I will put them in a writing or art center.  It is minimal prep for me, but the students LOVE it!

 And sometimes we draw just to draw!  It offers a nice release for the students… plus it is normally peaceful which is an added bonus!

 I’ve been obsessed with panda bears after watching Born In China!  I could seriously watch panda babies on TV all day long, ha!

 One more idea before I go!  Do you send home a compilation of work from throughout the year before school gets out?  It can be a lot of work to keep things, store them, and then organize it for all of your students.  With the drawings, you can use plastic sleeves or a folder.  Just keep them all together throughout the year and it will be such a nice gift to send home to the parents.  They will have a collection of their child’s art and writings from a whole year!

 For this portfolio, I just put ten page protectors together with ribbon.  I can add the drawings to it as we go!

 You’ll find that my unit is set up exactly the same way as the freebie 🙂
