Turtle Stacks
| This lesson began with Dr. Seuss's story, 'Yertle the Turtle' a tale about a bossy turtle who demands to stand on his fellows turtles to get the best view of the pond.  |  |
In this lesson we worked on our drawing skills and created a turtle stack. Kindergarteners first drew their turtle stack starting with the largest turtle at the bottom and then work their way up gradually drawing smaller turtles, learning about proportions. The kinders were free to use their imagination to decorate their turtles with line and pattern. Colored pencil was used to add bright bold color. Then the children mounted their 'Turtle Stacks' to a chosen colored piece of paper and finished it off with an artist signature. This was a fun project that reflected individual imagination. The kindergarteners were so excited to see how high their 'Turtle Stacks' could go.
