Story Time and Drawing

4/22/2021

This week, we added a little complexity and interaction to our story time. We started by reading a myth. Our final three books were about lines and shapes that inspired some drawing as we read.

“Wavy lines! These are from the octopus.” - Saul, 3.8 years

“I’m tickling it because I’m drawing fast with a Melanie marker.” - Lucia, 3.11 years

Lucia was drawing as we read.
“I’m filling in my drawing.” - Lucia

When we finished Lines that Wiggle, we decided to revisit a few favorites.
Did you have a favorite kind of line from the book? - Elyse
“Yeah, the octopus one.” - Saul
“My favorite was the octopus too.” - Lucia
Did you have another favorite line? - Elyse
“The straight ones.” - Saul

Should I use a sharpie? - Elyse
“Well, you have a sharp one that will poke you.” - Saul
Oh Saul, that is a confusing name. So this pen is called a sharpie, but it’s just a type of pen. It’s not sharp. It won’t hurt you. - Elyse
“I have that too. It’s so small.” - Lucia

“They’re snowy mountains.” - Lucia

“Will you spotlight me? Do you see my criss-cross lines? It’s criss cross and makes little spaces that you can dance in. Monsters can like, step through it so you can dance over the lines. I’m going to color in my net so that no-one uses it.” - Lucia

“I made a smile.” - Saul, 3.8 years

Saul's Smile

“Guys look! I drawed this! It makes all of the people in the net fly up to the sky. It’s a helicopter that is flying with a truck on the back. It’s a big one; a big helicopter. I need a huge one. I just put some dots inside to make it a nice and beautiful collection.” - Saul, 3.8 years
