My Project

I have the sweetest group of students. We love art projects but we enjoy incorporating their photos into their artwork. I enjoy sending my students home with photos of their school year in my class.

I love that they can look back on all their wonderful memories that they made in my class!

After reading Smoke Jumpers in our reading book, we had students pretend they were jumping out of a plane with a parachute. We added real photos of their face. Some were fearful, others were having a blast as they jumped out of the plane. After learning about dinosaurs, we had the kids create artwork of themselves as a paleontologist. Every time my students look back at these photos, they have the biggest smiles. I want to continue to create more picture memories with my students.
