Zentangle

I have found a new love.  Mindless, fun, art, that looks beautiful.  I have found that this has been a great project for the end of the year when most of my students are pretty much brain dead from all of their end-of-the-year test.  (To give you an idea of the craziness, the first graders have 6 different tests that they need to take!  ick.)  So I have found this has been a great way to help everyone calm down, focus but still have fun and express creativity.  So, I have done this so far with 4th, 5th, 6th and 1st grades.  Tomorrow with be my chance to tackle it with the 2nd graders.
