Collaborative Wall Project

I start every year off with a collaborative project for my 5th graders.  It accomplishes several things:

• they feel ownership in the room as their image covers our largest wall
• I see a brief glimpse into their artistic skills
• they fill out the back of their 4x6 card to tell me more about themselves

This year we did illuminated letters.  They created an image using their first initial and a material of their choice.

 and here is the entire wall.  I love it so much!
