 | Last night, Dryden parents and children who participated in Family Reading Night, had a chance to hear my reading of the book, Your Alien, see a sneak peek of the Animated Glow lesson that 4th graders are working on based on this book, draw as a family a creative alien that might come and visit them, and see the Emily Arrow music video created just for this book. |

4th graders made profile portraits and will soon start animating a glowing alien using the DoInk Drawing and Animation app on our iPads. They will let the alien interact with the paper in a new and creative mix of digital and physical art. See my full lesson here.
 | Families were invited to Draw their alien and fill out a sheet about it. These were then displayed on my bulletin board for all to enjoy. I loved seeing families working together. Download the handout, lesson, and resources PDF here. |
I distributed examples of aliens by Andy Martin to help families brainstorm theirs. We listened to Emily Arrow's music video based on the book Your Alien while we drew.
