Kindergarten- Drawing Weavings!

For this project, I began by giving Each student a white sheet of drawing paper and a colored sheet. My instructions were to fill up both sheets of paper however they wanted to using just lines, colors, and shapes.

Befor the next class I took each students white sheet of paper, and used my ruler to make a line on both ends. I then folded the paper in half. When the students got their papers back, the were instructed to hold the paper with the marker line up and cut even strips, stopping at the marker line. This was the base of the weaving. They then cut their colored paper in strips that went all the way through. All the students were successful at this. 

The next step was the weaving. I demonstrated the process of weaving and then we did 3 strips together. Some students caught on real quick and didn't need any help. Other students had a had time and needed a lot of assistance. This is still a difficult concept to teach and I'm sure it will get better with practice. But the weavings looked great in the long tin!
