Oh theres None so Rare, As He Can Comapre

With King Cole and His Fiddler Three.

My Kindergarten students have been doing a fabulous job in Art! The get so excited over the Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhyme lessons. We read Old King Cole and created King/Queen Self Portraits. In the previous year during my student teaching the students made watercolor-resist castles. Then we added small "If I were king and Queen" people and mythological creatures. They loved this lesson! We finished the lesson with some creative writing. They students had to complete the sentence"If I were a King or Queen I would have my subjects_________________" There were some fun responses!
