Self Portraits

During the first six weeks of school at UMS students are spending lots of time learning about themselves and each other as we all build classroom community, develop rules, jobs, and hopes and dreams together. One of our favorite September activities in first grade is the creation of self portraits. We have been reading books, singing songs, and doing activities to celebrate how we are alike, different, and how we all are special. We have been working hard with paint, paper collage, scissors, and glue to create beautiful portraits of ourselves over the last three weeks. These will all be hung up in the classroom for everyone to see at Open House in October! Below are some photos of our process. Enjoy!
