Just an example, when we do our literacy time every week we read a new book and we like to make it season based.

These were the biggest canvases that I have used and they were PERFECT! I had them go online and find photos, quotes, or things that they wanted to paint that expressed kindness. Then once they had their ideas, they went to work. I loved watching their creative process. Some were watching YouTube videos on how to draw hands and a cat, others were just diving right in with their paint markers. Regardless of the method to their madness, the outcome was perfect! \r\n\r\nThen, we put the double sided tape on the back and hung them all around the school. Our building is large, so we were able to find a spot for each of their paintings. When we walk by them, it is so cute to hear their little whispers of excitement when they see theirs.
