One of my favorite back to school activities is to have students draw a self-portrait in the first week of school. These pictures are something that I tuck away for the year. On the last day of school, I have students draw their self-portraits again and then bring out their first week portraits. It's always fun to see how much they've improved in their drawing skills and the kids' reactions are always priceless!
Just a reminder to send back the welcome package forms and tomorrow is a short day with dismissal at 12:41pm.
