The next day we looked at an art print like this one, "No. 5". We simply ask children what they notice about the painting. They notice the numeral 5 with 3 different sizes, the letters, the colors, and the type of lines they see. Then, we offer their numeral to use as a piece of art similar to this one. This year I provided markers, glitter glue, and stickers for the art work. I asked them to try and follow around the numeral with a dark color to help the numeral show up well.

After they dry again, we had a "gallery stroll". I placed the numerals on their tables before they came in to class. Then, I played some instrumental music. When the music plays, the students walk around looking quietly at the art on the tables. When the music stops, they stop. I choose a student and ask a question. This time I just asked what they noticed. Then, we continue strolling and stopping to comment until we have enough.
Finally, we hung them up in order for all to see:)
Happy teaching!
Yours truly,
Molly
