Thank you to all who donated cans for our project this week! As you see below, we have transformed them into keepsake containers decorated with a favorite poem and illustrated by the students. This involved a lot of cutting, drawing and careful planning as the kids had a small space to work with. The finished products look amazing - we are impressed with their creativity! The kids are already planning what to keep in their creations - the ideas ranged from paintbrushes, colored pencils, pens and markers to rock collections, hair scrunchies, and small toys.
The most frequent question we are getting now is, "When can we take them home?". The good new is - soon. These projects, as well as a personal poetry anthology that includes poems the 1-2 kids selected, poems from our study, and their own poems that they wrote, will all be going home next Thursday, after our Poetry Celebration! We hope to see you there. In the meantime, here is a preview.
Enjoy the pictures below of the finished projects, kids at work designing their masterpiece, and the completed covers before they were wrapped around a can.
