Self Portraits

Today we began studying self portraits.  This week we will work on "building" our self portraits with loose parts.   We will eventually build self portraits to hang outside our room.  Before we got started the children took a look at themselves in a mirror.  We talked about what they see;  " I have eyes.  I have a nose.  This is where my mustache goes."

"My eyes are blue."





 


"I'm sad because my mommy didn't let me have dessert. Now I'm happy because we went to the grocery store and I got my own cart."

"Here are my cheeks.  I'm done with my face."

 

"I need brown yarn. It can be my brown hair.  I need to wrap this around my belly. What do you have inside your bones?  This goes around it."

 

 

"I have eyebrows.  Now I need a neck. This will be better. This is my nose.  I need something else. I need legs. (as he shakes his knees) I'm using blue. Its my favorite color.  What's your favorite color? Now I need my smiley face."








We also played with soapy water and water beads.  There were lots of animal homes built.

 

 

Happy Monday!
