Kindergarten Lesson- I Am Special

I just came across this lesson.  Kindergarten slippers.  I love it!  Check it out over on the blog:meartsed

Kinder Architecture

This is an introductory lesson on architecture.  I talked to the kiddos about the job of architect.  We then looked at different kinds of housing.  I showed slides of single family homes, town houses, and apartments.  The children identified many details that they saw on a home including types of windows and doors.  They also pointed out the the smaller details such as mailboxes, shutters, house numbers, and building materials.

With Sharpies, they drew the shape of their houses and rooves.  Then they drew the details.  After the buildings were finished, they drew the things you might find in the landscape.  Finally, they painted the buildings with block tempera.

Aboriginal Bark Painting

Here's one I have never seen before.  Its from a blog in Australia.  Here's the link to this lesson:  Aussie Art Blog - Art for Kids  The lesson was written for kindergarten but I will spin it for preschool. 

Kindergarten Block Collage

This is a lesson for wee ones where they make individual wood block collages.  When the work from this lesson is placed together as a group, it is quite beautiful.

The lesson can be found here: Kindergarten Block Collage

It is from the Beverly Cleary School in Portland.
