All About Me

Rachel had a great idea for a project this week.  She wanted to make her own book that we could read.  We decided everybody could make their own book and it would be called All About Me.  So, this weekend we painted a front and back cover and then put the title on it.  Then I stapled some white paper in between the two pieces of construction paper and we have books!  This morning they each did a self-portrait on the first page.  Rachel had already painted herself on the front cover of her book, so it's funny to see a paint version and then a colored pencil version of the same self-portrait.  Such an artist using all different mediums!  Ford got very detailed with eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair, hands, fingers, legs, feet, and clothes.  Ruby basically did a scribble scrabble that I'm assuming is her abstract version of herself running all over the place :)  We had a great time and they are already begging to do the next page.  I think by the end of the week we'll have a nice little snapshot of what they are like at this current point in their lives.
