In honor of Black History Month, I read the students the poem The Crayon Box That Talked by Shane DeRolf. This sparked a conversation about how important it is to treat people equally and how it is the uniqueness of people that make the world such an interesting place to live! The students then use a mirror to draw their self-portrait and I encourage them to draw themselves doing something they love. I have the students trace a crayon template onto colored construction paper and then together we draw the top and bottom of the crayon with guided drawing. This lesson has proven great for first grade and am so happy I stumbled across it on Kinderart.com
