Michael Hall: Author Visit

On March 7, Michael Hall the author of My Heart is Like a Zoo and Perfect Square, visited our Treehouse and shared his book, It's an Orange Aardvark!  To welcome him to our school, we read My Heart is Like a Zoo and Perfect Square and created some artwork inspired by his illustrations.  

Kindergarten students used painted scraps of paper to cut and design environments for their animal pictures.  Their children had to include at least one heart in their animal composition, just like Michael Hall's pictures.  The created homes, forests, and other environments with additional scraps.  Finally, they shared a narrative of their composition to help the viewer appreciate the context of their image.
