Bears are in season again this year!

I have done this guided drawing for the last three years and despite how some art teachers feel about guided drawing I am a fan of sprinkling these lessons in my curriculum because... One, the students are pulled in instantly. Two, again instant success with all students. Three, I have never had 5 lunch moms ask me what is going on because the playground is COVERED in chalk bears! You get the picture. Next week we will cut them out and add a background paper.

Bears! Young Fives and Kindergarten

BEARS! This lesson takes a ton of prep work! Be warned... Although I think I have 8 different kindergarten classes so maybe it's just the numbers.  Anyway the idea is to teach how to turn a square into a circle so you pre cut the large brown square, all the ears, etc... The students add their own touch with crayons. I love how some students took their left over white scraps and turned them into teeth!
