Today the class read poems and sang songs about being special and unique. We looked at self-portraits of Mary Cassatt, Vincent VanGogh and Rembrandt before the children created their own self-portraits. An example is above. The self-portraits are displayed in our classroom for now, but I'm sure you will treasure them when they come home. The children were so creative! One student even asked for two colors of paper to create "highlights" in her hair....how cute! Little did they know that while they were having fun, they were also hitting our language arts targets: I can follow rules for listening; I can listen to the speaker. They did a great job of tracking the speaker (following the person talking with their eyes) as I gave directions for each step and they shared about their special qualities. Each self-portrait is unique:) Stop by to see them!
