Kindergarten: What a Hoot!

Students have been learning about shapes and how they are incorporated into the world such as animals. To get students acquainted and comfortable with creating animals from just shapes I introduced the simple Owl. Going over what shapes make up an owl with the students I demonstrated that the owl had to fill the page, must be colored in with constructions crayons then students would receive scrap paper to create feathers from shapes. There's always expectations such as experimentation with color, solid coloring and filling the space with their images.
