Directed Drawing Tutorial for Reading Celebration Week {FREEBIE}
Directed Drawing Tutorial for Reading Celebration Week {FREEBIE}: We’ve been out for snow all last week, so I am excited to get back into my classroom (my home away from home). I am a little behind though from being out and this week being our Reading Celebration makes it even more jam-packed with stuff to do!
One of the things on my to-do list is a directed drawing of a cat…fun, right?
I’ve had a lot of comments about folks having difficulty with directed drawings. To help those teachers out, I created a printable and a very quick video for you! If you like it, leave a comment and I will do another for my leprechaun directed drawing from last year {HERE}
The video should prep you enough so that you can lead your class in their own directed drawings! =)

I also finished my Alligator Close Read! You can find it {HERE} and it’s been added to my Close Read Bundle #2! (you may need to go download it again if you’ve already purchased it!)
I hope you love it!
Thanks so much for the directed drawing. My kids love to draw. So easy to follow!
I love this! Thank you for the detailed directions- I would be grateful if you post the leprechaun directed draw as well 🙂
So excited to do this directed drawing! Thank you so much!
Can't wait to use this directed drawing with my kiddos tomorrow! would love if you could post the leprechaun as well! Thank you so much!
Do you have MORE directed drawings??? I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they turn out compared to "craftivities"
My first comment didn't post…but It said something like. I LOVE this! I had something else planned for art this week (not as cute) but I am soooo ditching that and doing THIS!! I would love to see a leprechaun!
Love love love this!!! After I do it tomorrow I'll give you a shout out on Instagram. This is adorable. Thanks!!
Thank you for sharing! Directed drawings are a BIG hit in our class – I'm sure our kiddos will really enjoy this one!
Thanks for this! I can't wait to try it with my kiddos tomorrow! 🙂
Oh my heck! I can't wait to do the Cat in the Hat drawing with my kiddos this week!! Thank you!
You are amazing! It's both a curse and a blessing to be the next door down from you!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! My kinders did your Leprechaun one last year and they did an SEUSTASTICAL JOB, and we got alot of nice compliments! Can't wait to do this tomorrow!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Love the video! I admit I've never done a directed drawing with my students before. The Alligator close reading looks amazing – my students are little thrill-seekers and would love it! Thanks, Jen
Jennifer! This post is fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing with us! I would love to learn a little leprechaun next!!! xoxoxo

You are awesome! Thank you for giving me a craft for my primary kiddos for next week! 🙂
Thanks so much for the directed drawing. Kiddos will love it.
Love this….who wouldn't want to see the Leprechaun? 🙂
This is probably a dumb question…with directed drawing are you JUST giving the verbal directions or are you doing the drawing up front along with them?
Not a dumb question! I draw just as I do on the video with them, step by step (slower of course). There are times when they don't even know what we are going to draw! I just start with each part and they do it with me…they are so excited when they see what's revealed =)
I have been looking to change my Dr. Suess project and cannot wait to do this with my kidos!
I met you in Vegas for the Bloggers Met Up and you were awesome.
Thanks so much.

Love it! Yes, please on the leprechaun drawing!
