Cloud gluing

Since we have been talking about God's creation of the seas and the skies, today we glued "clouds" on blue paper. I didn't have any regular cotton balls, so I cut apart those little cotton pads that are squares. I gave Q a bottle of liquid Elmer's glue and she actually squeezed the dots of glue all over the paper. I sometimes made suggestions of where she should put the next glue dot (to help with spacing) and just pointed and said, "how about here!"

When writing labels or even names on children's work, I always try to start in the top left corner (the way print runs in a book) to begin to teach them to track left-right, top to bottom.
