Oil Pastel

This has been such a crazy time of year with so many people out sick. The other week I had something all planned out for my 4th grade class and then half of the class was home sick! Yikes! So I was flexible and changed my lesson. Instead of the planned lesson I gave the students oil pastels to experiment with. A few of the kids didn't really put much thought into what they did, but there were others who did a great job. This is one of them.

I'm realizing that kids need some time to just be creative. So I'm working on giving them the opportunity on a regular basis. I really do enjoy teaching art. I love seeing how the kids think. :o)
