Messy learning

Things in class have been a little messy lately.  First we practiced our letters in shaving cream...

Then about a week ago we read the book "Elmer".  In case you're not familiar with it, it's a story about an elephant that feels out of place because he is the complete opposite of all the other elephants.  After we read the story we talked about how we're all different and it's a good thing to be different. Then I decided to do something a little crazy.  Thanks to my father-in-law I have a bunch of butcher paper in my classroom so I thought that it'd be really fun if we drew ourselves on paper and decorated each of our outlines differently to show that each of us our different, but we're all special.  My students did a great job and they LOVED this activity.  We've done a lot of body outlines right now, but it's been a lot of fun... messy, but fun.  Here's my class and their look alikes :)
