We took the pictures of each and I drew a makeshift pattern and the kids made them. We made the garden and the trees were just from my imagination.

I use drawing as one of the ways for the students to express themselves. For example, when the students finish their work early, they have two options, to read or to draw. Even though they still struggle with fine motor skills, many of them choose to draw! Also, our class participates in the Very Special Arts Festival at the Music Center where we perform singing and showcase our artwork. This year we were inspired by the drip and splash style of Jackson Pollock and created paintings to accompany the performance. The majority of students in my classroom cannot write by themselves.

They could use pictures from old magazines, print outs and their own drawing to paste on the appropriate color pages. The students would then be encouraged to share their books in a small group setting.
