Cardinal mural By Kindergarteners!

I brought up the term MURAL in Kindergarten yesterday, and told them what the definition was.  We had drawn our cardinal's last week onto red paper and today we were going to add them to the tree I had cut out and put onto blue paper.  I told the students that a mural was a piece of Artwork that we ALL work on together!  

At their seat were stack of white paper strips, glue sticks and their birds from last week. I taught the students how to make snowflakes, and how to color and "embellish"  their birds from last week.  It was so much run to see the students coming up and deciding where to put their bird and gluing their snowflake wherever they wanted to!  At the end of class I asked them AGAIN what the word Mural meant and they seemed to remember!  LEARN BY DOING IS MY MOTTO.
