All of my students know that my favorite animal is the owl. Throughout the year, they bring me little presents in the form of drawings, key chains, garage-sale framed art, stuffed animals and everything in between. It is so sweet that they think of me and spend their time and money to get me little keepsakes that I proudly display in the room. Try to count all them all, you won't be able to...I have so many that I have to store some of them away to bring out seasonally.
We recently finished a painting project of killer whales and harbor seals......owls will always be my favorite, but I'm still excited from my Canadian Whale Watching Excursion where I got to see real orcas and harbor seals in the wild, so I selected the whales and seals as the topic for our paintings. In art, it is very easy to incorporate the things that interest me into the classroom. If I am excited about a topic, it resonates with my students.
