JVE's 2nd Grade Wild Things!

Second graders had a blast creating their very own Wild Things!  Students listened to the book Where the Wld Things Are and learned about three different types of texture:  stippling, hatching, and cross-hatching.  They then designed their Wild Thing and added movement - to show it was doing the dance of the Wild Rumpass.  Students drew, traced, and painted their Wild Thing for 4-5 art lessons.  We wrapped up our Wild Things unit by watching a very short video where Maurice Sendak himself narrates his animated book Where the Wild Things Are:  http://youtu.be/TbXS7gNIGIY
