The students in Mrs. Peterson’s preschool class are working on following multi step directions. The students participated in a directed drawing activity to go along with their hibernation unit. They were given a piece of paper and a marker and had to follow along the step by step directions to create a picture of a polar bear. Each picture turned out different and personal to that student’s interpretation of the directions! Such a fun activity to show the importance of the process not just the product!
