Kindergarten: Yertle the Turtle

Kindergarten read Yertle the Turtle by Dr. Seuss, one of my favorite children's authors. Today, we based our pictures off of the images we saw in the book; which means lots and lots of turtles. But where do we start?

Well, there is nothing I like better than taking 'trash' and recycling it into something new. My scrap bin for old paintings and drawing was over-flowing with rejected masterpieces. These forgotten works are perfect for turtle shells and teaches the kids to look beyond what is there and change their thinking to what something can become.
