An Imaginary Bird Adventure...

Language and Literacy

Audrey's interest in drawing is growing everyday in the Cardinal classroom; at Choice Time she often chooses to work with her friends at the Writing Center drawing pictures.

 During literacy today, Audrey was asked to think about what it means to take an imaginary adventure. She listened attentively as the children shared their ideas about imaginary adventures. "It's like when you can make up any story you want."

 Audrey was asked to draw an imaginary adventure with the bird she chose to research this year. She was able to create an imaginary story reflecting an understanding of  this more abstract concept. 

Audrey's drawings have become quite elaborate and detailed; reflecting her deeper understanding and connection to the world around her.  Through this literacy activity Audrey had the opportunity to practice fine motor skills.  She is using a more mature pencil grip and demonstrates skill in fine motor coordination.
