More Turtle Arts

The Turtles today began working with ink and liquid water colors. Many illustrators use this technique for books, and the Turtles were excited to try it out. They worked with great attention to detail and color with this new medium.

We also continued working on the characters for the book we are writing.  Friends used their developing literacy skills to match pictures to the name cards we generated yesterday, and then glued them on.

At Morning Meeting, we have started a new name game. We are now working on recognizing our own and each other's last names! It is amazing that some of the children are already recognizing the sounds and letters of the names!
