BIO POEMS and

SELF-PORTRAITS

What a fun project!  Kids write their poems over a few days, using brainstorms we did as a whole class.  What do you love?  Fear?  After writing the poem, kids typed their own poems in the computer lab.  I was really impressed with how quickly they were able to type and how great their poems look when printed.  Bravo!  Our self portraits were so much fun to make!  Using a template, they cut out a head and shoulder in construction paper.  Colored pencils are used to draw their faces, and yarn hair is added, giving the portrait dimension.  It was funny to see everyone bald!  We all agreed hair was important to add.  J  The finished products are WONDERFUL.
