** Introducation ** Read a story All About Me (there are plenty to pick from) Then have the studetns make a self portriat. We talked about what a face needs. Call out parts and have studetns point to each part. Then give them crayons and let them go! I like to do this activity mid year and end of the year as well. It's a nice chart of the student's growth.

Here is a good list of books to use with this theme []
