Description
FORM DRAWING (1.2) – 24 pages: Two and a half weeks of lesson plans with mentoring comments and a Nature Story are illustrated with samples of blackboards, exercises and bookwork, a more complex craft project, and a letter of information to the parents.
The free supplement of poems and songs is an editable template which includes sheet music, footnotes and attributions. Customise it for your cultural setting, or use it to teach English as a foreign language.
This chapter shows how to build on the year’s first Main Lesson with a related block. Enjoying their new skill, the children find symmetry in the Nature Story of caterpillar and butterfly, and this topic is explored through drawing, recitation and modelling. Alongside, the handcraft project of making a hobby horse is begun.

I think this was my favorite block in the grade 1 curriculum. I was so taken with it I decided it would be the perfect complement to our class play this year, and the hobby horses will have a roll! Form drawing can sometimes be any elusive subject for new teachers. This resource makes it imaginative and fun!

I love the way these are printed! As a bound book that went month by month it would be hard to organize around your unique schedule. Every block that Fabienne has published comes with the block material and a seasonal collection of circle activities, so it’s very easy for you to take the second parts of each chapter and rearrange them according to your schedule. My approach is to work with form drawing for the first couple of weeks while I literally form my class, and then I incorporate it into every week of the year. I have crafted one binder that is all of the circle activities month by month that I can very easily pull out and choose from for my seasonal circle. The choices she made in this particular collection of circle activities are perfect for a class that needs forming. This is a great resource for class teachers, and also for homeschool collectives who are trying to create that same form with less time devoted to it. My only suggestion for those of us who are not so musical would be if in the future there could be either links or audio files that we could listen to as well.
