Today in class we used rubbing plates and crayons to explore textures as a topic for the first time. The kids had such a fun time that they had a hard time putting the crayons and plates away at clean up time!
Here is a 'homework' challenge! As a family activity, go on a texture hunt through your house! Using a crayon and a piece of paper, create rubbings of as many different textures as you can find. After 5 minutes, gather together when the timer goes off and see who found the most different textures!
This is not required homework and does not need to be brought to class for credit. It is just for fun!

1st grade - Line and Texture
My first grade students spent a couple of days working with lines and textures. Each student placed several different kinds of lines on their paper with a black crayon. After placing the lines, the students used texture rubbing plates to fill the paper with colorful textures. They were encouraged to try multiple layers of textures and multiple layers of coordinating colors. Everyone had lots of fun!
