One of my favorite books to read to kindergarteners is Barney Saltzberg's Beautiful Oops. Besides being a great interactive and multi-surface board book that is really fun to read and explore, t's a great reminder that projects may not go as planned, but often "mistakes" are the catalyst for something even more exciting. Developmentally, kindergarteners are just starting to compare their work to how they think it "should" look, so it's a good time to introduce the idea that an "Oops" can be a new creative starting point.I gave students construction paper with holes cut out, and offered them several materials to work with, including tissue paper, pattern-paper scraps, glue, tape, scissors, string and pipe cleaners. They made some incredible creations that will soon be gracing the hallways.
