    keep art

    Keep art and change the name to "the art of the picture book". This would be a chance for children to learn about picture book discourse and art mediums, by creating their own. For example, do an illustrator study on Eric Carle, and your AOPB center will be cut paper collage.

    This art center could also be an illustrator center and you could let students illustrate their own writing/books for publication. Again, let them have some flexibility and opportunity to explore many art mediums that you have modeled in picture books.


    For another center, how about a flip book of the week center. You could have a different task for each flip book. So for example...day 1...students write a caption for a photograph you cut out of a magazine. Day 2 ...word of the day write a sentence, you provide the word and definition, and your students write a sentence with the word. Day 3...students write a math problem...Day 4...students draw a small web...Day 5...students plan a menu
    etc. I am thinking as I go along here, but with the flip book you can be as creative as you want and it is a fun way to mix content area and target interesting skills that you might not get a chance to do often in whole class.
