stART - A Good Night Walk

A story + Art = a great stART!!

For this week's stART project, we read A Good Night Walk by Elisha Cooper. In it, they take a walk before bed and as they go around the neighborhood they see things (like the clothes on the line, the mail truck, a pie cooling, etc.) and on the way back home they see the same houses (but with the clothes off the line, the mail truck gone, the pie eaten and the lights out)...

We took our own walk and Ryleigh pointed out some of the things that she saw (a red car, a railroad track, a bank, a mailbox, etc.).... I then tried to find some of the same things in some old magazines. We cut them out and Ryleigh glued them on as a collage...

After we were done with the collage, we "relived" our walk...
as we talked about seeing each item on the collage
