Artist unknown...they did a great job, but they forgot the most important step, step #1= WRITE YOUR NAME

Getting to Know Names

First Project was doing a project with their name. It is great way to get to know each others' names.

The lower grades practiced drawing lines by tracing around and around their name. There was a large variety of artwork considering!







The Upper Grades did bubble letters with a vanishing point.
