This was our first official week of school. We chose to read some "All About Me" books to encourage our students to feel good about themselves. We did two mini projects to go with our stories. One day we did a shared writing titled: "I like my..." Each student then chose something about themself they liked best. I took pictures of their favorite part (ex: teeth, hair, hands) and we made a class book called The Best Part of Me.
We also worked on self portraits. On Wednesday my co-teacher worked with the kids on using mirrors to look closely at their face. Each student used a mirror and made a sketch of their face. On Thursday they used multi cultural crayons to color their face and chose a background color. On Friday they used watercolors to paint their name which was a bonus because they also got to work on their fine motor skills. I think our display turned out really nice!
