I looked at the Crayola materials, then did my own thing.  It is Kindness Week at our school, so I am reading kindness stories, and don't have time for a 20 min. video from Crayola also.  But this was fun, and worked well:  I showed grade 4 the emoji picture (I think that's Tuesday's theme) - the author and a picture with 4 emojis.  I talked about it, then gave them a template with 5 blank circles,  read Tucky Jo and Little Heart by P. Polacco aloud, and while I read the students filled in the circles with emojis reflecting how they were feeling at different points in the story.  I have a portable white/magnetic board, and they hung them up on it.  Fun and effective! I urged them to be creative and expressive and they were!  With Kindergarten (not related to Crayola, except for the crayons and creativity), I read Mouse and Hippo by Mike Twohy, gave the students paper and crayons, and stopped the story at 2 points, for them to draw Hippo, and later to draw Mouse, before seeing how the characters in the book did that same thing.  Really fun!

Hi.  For anyone doing Crayola Creativity this week, today's video is about line, shape and color.  The guest artist is an 11 year boy who is known as Doodle Boy.  This worked great with the Charter Oak Book Award Nominee, Line and Scribble.  Even my 3rd graders loved the book!!  After we read and watched the short video, students doodled.  It was fun!!
