Awesome first week of school activity

This is mine. What do you think?

I was perusing Pinterest yesterday and found something wonderful! This art teacher had a wonderful idea and I am going to use it with my kids this year.

Here is the pin.

Click here to go to the post on her blog. She has a free download for you. I downloaded it because it has the notebook paper clipart on the page.

Procedure:

• Discuss goal setting
• Have your students set some goals for the year, I think I will have mine do 3
• Students need to write the goals down with the prompt: My goals for the 2012-2013 school year are...
• Show students your finished goal portrait
• Demonstrate how to place the eyes and hands
• Let students draw their own
• Students need to copy their goals onto the small piece of notebook paper
• We will hang ours in the hallway

Isn't that awesome? I can't wait!!!!
