Read to Someone in Action and TAPAS Day 3

 Read to Someone is one of the 5 Components of the Daily 5 Literacy Block Framework.  We have been working on sitting EEKK(Elbow, Elbow, Knee, Knee) and checking for understanding while reading with a friend!  I must say my awesome readers are hitting it out of the park when reading to each other during Read to Someone!  
 
 Everyone in Action
We also had our 3rd lesson with Ms. Holly on the art work of Paul Klee!  We turned our watercolor pencil into watercolor paintings by adding water to our pieces and then began our clay tiles that we were sculpting to go along with our watercolor!  We still have one final day left to paint our clay pieces after they have been fired in Ms. Holly's kiln and also write our short rhyming poems! 


 It has really been a treat watching the students work on their art work during these TAPAS lessons!  They have absolutely loved every minute and I am so thankful for the amazing grant and all the knowledge and experience it has brought my little artists! 
 




 After finishing our watercolor pieces we moved on to sculpting our clay tiles using random things and materials from all around the room to make shape imprints on the clay tiles. 








 I truly can not wait to see the final products all put together!  I also can't wait to share them with you on here!  Keep an eye out!
