The Most Important Thing About My Students

One of the projects we worked on this week was a combination art and writing project.  We used The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown as our mentor text.

We copied the predictable text with the first and last sentence being the same.  The students used this pattern to write about themselves.  We also did a tear art project which required the students tearing paper to make a picture of themselves.  It was very tricky to not use scissors!

Here are a few of our creations: (Some of them really made me laugh)
