One of Michaela’s narration assignments today was this: Choose any one of the fairies we have talked about from The Fairy-Land of Science and draw me a picture of what you think she looks like.
This is the completed assignment and I absolutely love it. I asked her which fairy this is, but I shouldn’t have had to ask. The shield on her chest is a snowflake. (Of course, six sides!) Her cheeks are rosy because it’s so cold. Her wand is tipped with ice and represents the power that she has in nature. That’s a snowball on her crown and the smaller snowballs have upsidedown icicles on them. I think she was paying attention to the story. 
Did you notice that fairy Crystallization is able to wear flip-flops in the snow?
One of her assignments for tomorrow (her boxes are all full and ready to go) is to look at this picture and tell me how it makes her feel, and she can do this by writing or by drawing at her easel. I’m anxious to see what she chooses. I’ll let you know.
I’m liking that the paintings from our artist study for this term are in the noteook in covers. At this point I am introducing one at a time with an assignment.

Lynn,
Please tell Michaela that I think her Crystallization fairy is fabulous. I can’t wait to see more of the inhabitants from the Fairyland of Science!
HAve a day filled with opportunities to discovery!

We do lots and lots of illustration narration. Sprite loves to draw.
Her drawing is great! You are a very creative teacher, too.
The writing assignment for art is a great idea. I’m planning on working a lot with writing assignments this year, but I never considered art. DUH!
Love it! I really like the idea of illustration narration also. May have to use that.
