Third Grade Pastel Self-Portraits

These self-portraits have become sort of a tradition in the Lower Division at Shorecrest. The children trace a black and white photograph, being very careful to leave themselves clues as to where the value changes occur. Then, using mirrors for color clues, they add color to their drawings with chalk pastels. With careful blending and attention to detail, the portraits are bound to be successful.

Kindergarten Program Set

My son, Tyler, helped me create the set for Kindergarten this year. His dog, Seymour, was also a big help :) This photo shows us getting started on the set for "Goldie and the Three Bears". The program was a hit!
