We read the story, "Corduroy" by Don Freeman. They loved the fuzzy bear on his adventure to find his missing button and a home. We used corrugated paper to cut out a triangle and rectangles in order to make Corduroy's overalls. We glued them down and traced an oval for Corduroy's head. Students added the rest of the details on their own. They colored Corduroy with crayons, and added a background for him. We also went to town with the yarn again, since they are now experts at adding this for texture. Students had a class period where they were finishing coloring and then were able to get a Corduroy coloring sheet I made. I went around to each group, let them pick out a button and show me were they would like it glued. I used my cordless glue gun to attach the button. Students put their hands in their laps while I did this and I told them when it was okay to touch. They were great listeners!
