This week we read a book called, "David's Drawings." In the book a little boy starts to draw a picture and then he lets others in his class add more detail to his picture. We practiced working together as a table to create a picture. They discussed what they would draw, everyone helped create it, and then we presented them to the class. It was a fun day in Kindergarten!
