My big project for the month of April was "Conversation Kites." The idea was that my students would decide on 4 things that they would like to tell someone about themselves, and then draw a picture of this. Then, they chose 3 synonyms to describe themselves that they wrote on the bows. Of course, as with everything I have high hopes for, my students' pictures failed to impress (and I've seen what they produce in art, so I know it was just laziness!). I ended up making most of them write sentences to go along with their pictures so that people would actually know what the picture was supposed to be. Then, that too ended up being lackluster. I really just wanted a cute colorful display, but oh well, at least I tried! It ended up ok. I'm just hoping one day I can actually figure out how to get my kiddos to produce the work I know they are capable of!
