When Mrs. Borchert noticed one of her 2nd grade classes was ahead of the rest, she had a great opportunity to test out one of my sub plans as a potential future sub plan in her own classroom. I cannot remember where I found this idea, but I love it! Students use old erasers to blend oil pastels in the style of tie-dye fabric. They must choose their pattern (bulls eye, stripe, or spiral) and plan out their colors. They are then encourage to color with heavy pressure, leaving no white space. They then use the erasers to make long blending streaks that go against the grain of the pattern. This is a nice and easy lesson to leave in a sub tub for a rainy day. :)
