I typically do self portraits in the very beginning of the school year. We’re talking nose to the grindstone first week of school. This year, probably because of the move, my energy was in other places. So here we were, mid November doing our early September sharpie on white card stock versions of self portraits. What I have found is really remarkable. The children are way more comfy. Their work was highly focused. They watched their peers work closely and commented sincerely on their friends process. I sat back. I observed and participated minimally. Gratitude for busy Septembers and slow learning November and so much in-between.
