One of my second grade reading groups just read the book
The Art Class by Ryan Fadus. The book is about a group of blind students who are going to art class. Their teacher, Mr. Hanson, let's them know they will be creating something that they like to touch. After we read the story, the students all created something made out of modeling clay like the students in the book (although they used real clay).
With his stick of modeling clay, Sean made a dog. Jessa created a dog in a cage. Scott created a 'skulleton' who goes by the name of Skully, and
Kenley used her stick of modeling clay to make a whale on a rock. It was an activity we all enjoyed doing. The next time we meet, we will be writing in our journals about our wonderful creations.
