Love me some cross-curriculum connections!
The lovely librarians asked me if I could relate an Art lesson to their first grade Caldecott unit for Reading Week this year. I spotted Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold, and jumped on it! In Art, we talked about the meaning of a "tar beach", and the different ways the main character used her imagination in the story. 
We then, as a class, named different places we would love to fly over, and make our own. They came out wonderfully!
Next time, I might have them look up different places and landmarks for more of a
variety of locations - there were a lot of bird's eye views of Paris the first time around! Here are some of the results from the Tar Beach lesson!
