It all started last year with Proud to be Primary and her Franken-Buddies. I made them with my kids and they were adorable–but I also saw something amazing happen with my students. They were drawing Franken-buddies on their own–all the time–and they were so proud of themselves. I saw the same thing the next month when we made her Turkeys.

I think I will try to do a directed drawing once a month–they boost students’ confidence in their ability to draw, which is SO HELPFUL for those reluctant writers/drawers.

In just a few simple steps, your students will be feeling like artists and showing off their creations! 
My students had a blast with this! And now, when we journal about the characters in the Kevin Henkes books, everyone will be able to draw a mouse!
I hope you give this a try! I know that your students will love it!
