Student Strengths & Goals

Create a stunning classroom display that showcases your students strengths and goals with this multidisciplinary art activity.

Materials: Silver Metallic paper and Cray-Pas or oil pastels, small mirrors.

Children spend some time looking in the mirror before drawing a self portrait on shiny silver paper. I use 12x18 sheets, or if I have time I precut ovals to represent a \'Mirror.\' After the portrait is fully colored in with oil pastels, I have students design, measure, cut and assemble a frame from construction paper. These framed portraits hang on a bulletin board titled "SELF REFLECTIONS" and below each portrait is a short piece of writing describing what each student defines as their strengths and their goals. Older students write these self reflections during first wee writing time, and younger students dictate to a scribe on the computer.
