I am an art teacher in a rural school district and I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of the students I teach. When I first started this blog many years ago I had more time to write and over the last few years I haven't posted as much. Public education has been changing and I hope to offer some encouragement and support to others during the coming months. Thanks for checking in.

1st Grade Extension: Snowmen
If you read my last post about Mrs. Gerber's writing activity, I also found this other great integration while walking down the same first grade hall! Miss Bowcutt's class had created these cute little snowmen using tear art. Learning to tear paper in a circular shape is very good for children's fine motor skills and it is very difficult! These are especially cute with the different hats and earmuffs! This activity would be fun to try with almost any age level.
