Our Class

Last year I had a job bulletin board, and a class bulletin board. I decided to combine these two needs into one board this year. So I wrote my jobs on little stars, and I decided I am going to hang the jobs beside each student's self-portrait when it is their turn to work on that job.

That meant that I needed each student to make a self-portrait... so I started by making my own and hanging it up on the board. My job is teacher, and that's kind of permanent, so I wrote it across the bottom of my picture.

This is what the board looked like when the students came
in on the first day of school.

Here I am eagerly awaiting 21 little people to arrive.

Then I gave the students the supplies to create their own self-portraits. Some understood that a self-portrait should share a likeness with the artist creating it.

Notice the green headband she was wearing, and her
glasses actually look like that. 

This boy had written "I Love" and the name of a student on his
shirt, but I had to cut that for the blog. So sweet! Love the top hat.
Those are not allowed as part of the school uniform in case you're wondering.

This child really wanted to give himself crazy colored eyes.
I talked him into giving himself the brown eyes that he actually possesses.

This is a true likeness of this child. She did a fabulous job!

Unnatural colored hair is also not a part of the uniform.
I just love this one! It speaks volumes about this child.

You can see that my class is full of personality and zest. I am excited for a new year with new kiddos!

Below is our final product, save two students that have not completed theirs yet.
