We drew and colored a dog, mickey mouse, pumpkin, hands and leaves. \u00a0 During this chapter of drawing, while we continued to spend efforts to add interesting subjects into drawing and coloring, we intensified the drawing skill training.\u00a0 For an example, I used leaves as an example not only to teach students to experience \u5199\u751f\uff0cbut also to teach students five ways to record \u7a0d\u7eb5\u5373\u901d \u7684\u73b0\u8c61 or to record in-vanishingly a memory of special, lovely, beautiful, or important things.\u00a0 The five ways are 1. make a print of a subject without a copy machine, e.g. contour leaves or figure prints, 2. trace a subject like leaves, 3. draw a subject, 4. photograph a subject and 5. videotape a subject.\u00a0 In the classroom, I taught the first three ways such as contouring, tracing and drawing of leaves. I hope that parents can help teach kids the last two ways in the outside of classroom.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For the next chapter of this drawing class, I\u3000will introduce holiday season activities into the class by combining holiday season activities with drawing skills.\u00a0 Towards this direction, in the next session we will draw and color turkeys to celebrate Thanksgiving. Please let kids know and be prepared. After this session, we will have Thanksgiving break and resume the class in December 2nd, 2012.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Best regards,<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Michelle Yu, Teacher<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Parents, One more month passed quickly as we had five more sessions of the drawing class.
