This quilt hangs by my desk and every year this is my very favorite start of the year project:
the creation of our Family Picture Wall!
This self-portrait quilt is part of my sharing "three things about me". As we continue to spend the next week sharing things about ourselves with one another and getting procedures and routines established, this project becomes the anchor that reminds us throughout the year that we truly are a cooperative classroom and that as one little guy said yesterday: "School is like a home."
I think we're off to a great start in Mrs. Reynolds' Second Grade!
With smiles,
Val:)
LOVE this, Val! What a cute idea!

ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at the clever ideas teachers come up with. It takes a lot to keep young ones involved, and this sounds like a wonderful start. Plus it is cute!
