| 6 | Closing Reflection | 2 | Recap the importance of self-identity and creative expression. Remind students about their art project as a reflection of who they are. |
Students will continue to work on their art project at home if desired but will not be required to present their projects in class. Instead, educators will do a casual check for completion the following day.
"Hello, everyone! I'm so excited to see all of your smiling faces today! We're going to have a fantastic time learning about ourselves. Our lesson today is called 'All About Me.' Can anyone tell me why it’s important to know about ourselves and our friends?"
[Pause for responses]
"Exactly! Understanding who we are helps us make friends and share our stories. Today, we are going to create a beautiful art project that shows who we are. Are you ready to get started?"
"Great enthusiasm, everyone! Now, I'll be handing out these special cards called 'All About Me' cards. Each of you will get one. When you receive yours, I want you to look closely at what’s on the card."
[Distribute the cards]
"These cards have some questions about you, like your favorite color, your favorite food, and things you like to do. You can be as creative as you want! When everyone has their card, I'll explain what we'll do next."
"Okay, friends, it’s time for you to fill out your 'All About Me' cards! Use the crayons and markers on your tables to write or draw your answers. Take your time, and remember, there's no right or wrong way to show us your interests!"
[Walk around the classroom, encouraging students]
"Wow, I see some amazing drawings! Keep it up! Let your imagination go wild, and when you finish, hold your cards up high so I can take a look!"
"Now that you've filled out your cards, it’s time for the fun part! I want each of you to take your card and use it to help you create a larger art project on this colorful construction paper."
[Bring out construction paper and other materials]
"Think of this project as a collage. You can glue your ‘All About Me’ card onto the construction paper and add any drawings or cutouts that represent you. Maybe you want to add pictures of your favorite animals or colors! Let's get creative!"
[Move around to assist and inspire students]
"While you are all busy working on your projects, I’ll be walking around to check on your filled-out cards. I want to make sure everyone is included and has had the chance to share a bit about themselves."
[Collect cards or check in with students]
"Don’t forget to put your names on your projects so we know who they belong to!"
"Okay, friends, let’s wrap things up! I am so proud of all the wonderful art projects you created today. It’s really important to understand ourselves and show that creativity! Remember, your project is a reflection of who you are."
[Encourage students to share their work]
"Tomorrow, I’ll do a little check to see how everyone is doing with their projects. You can keep working on them at home if you like! Great job today, everyone, and remember how special it is to be you!"
