ELEM: fun first grade lesson

[Patricia Melville <3tunas@vgernet.net>]

Greetings! First graders were in heaven today walking around in their
crowns: Wonderful short read "If I were Queen of the World" by Fred
Hiatt and illustrated by a favorite of mine, Mark Graham (an art
teacher in Port Washington NY). Then sit in a circle and have each of
them finish their idea if they were Queen or King of the world. Then
have your strips of 8 X 24" yellow paper, scissors and crayons ready.
Ask them to make their crown with a K-I-N-G or Q-U-e-E-N on it and
decorate it and demonstrate some ways to cut the top zig zaggy or
whatever. When done, measure around their heads, staple and voila. SO
SIMPLE and They LOVED it...
