Pre-K was introduced to this concept as a whole group. But their drawings took place in a smaller setting during play centers. As kids chose which center to engage in, Mr. Andy called small groups of 1-3 kids to come to the writing center to work on their portrait. This activity was also a great way to see which children could write their names. For those who cannot, we'll be sending home name writing sheets for them to work on at home.
Our first in-classroom bulletin board is complete. It is titled "Hand Drawn Selfies." The concept behind it is to display our students' self-portraits. The self-portrait for our pre-k kids is very important to observe their growth and development over the course of the year. Your children will draw a self portrait in September, December, March, and June. We'll be able to see their progress simply by looking at their drawing and their ability to write their name.

In the past, kids drew their self portraits all at once. I found that many students tend to rush the process when they noticed their friends were done. In a smaller setting, the teacher can spend time with the students and encourage them if they hit a block. Here is the photo gallery of the Hand Drawn Selfie process.
