I've given my grade ones the task of two teams creating a mural of a farmyard that we would possibly move to as a wrap up to our farm art unit. The conversations I hear from the two groups at this moment is amazing. One group is trying to tell the story of the relationships between the animals through the placement of their objects, buildings, and animals. The other group drew a cat too big and realized it was bigger than the door of their barn. But to my surprise one student exclaimed, "It's okay because it is in front of the barn and things that are in front are bigger than things that are far away." What a great comment that shows they actually do retain the little lessons I teach them everyday. Such a great moment in my teaching day!
