Our First Vocab Word is "Creative"

Creativity is an important goal for my kiddos. Many of them have never been taught what being creative means-often I have whole tables who write or make the same thing. By the end of the year that will not be the case. We learn what it is and I give my students ample opportunity to practice being creative.

The first day I want them to make a self-portrait-but using food! I put together a number of snack foods that can be used for hair, eyes, nose, mouth and some even did eyebrows. :) Their canvas is a tortilla.
