Lesson Topic
It was another great day of learning for Super Learner Alexandra! Today’s theme: All About Me, Liking Myself, and Being Me.
Lesson Outline
First, Alexandra painted and decorated the air-dried clay donuts and dinosaurs from yesterday’s lesson. She did an amazing job! Alexandra asked me to play music while she worked. She requested to hear the music with birds chirping. She remembered this music from her bird art lesson.
Then we read three positive books about liking who we are: You!, I Like Myself!, and Be More Cat. We talked about liking who we are, being brave and curious, and believing in ourselves. I gave Alexandra a teacher-made girl body template: head, shirt, skirt, arms, and legs to assemble and decorate to represent herself. She decorated her clothing, and we added yarn and a ribbon for her hair. I gave her some information cards to complete: her favorite color, her age with a birthday cake, her favorite food, and her favorite ice cream flavor. She completed the age sheet and added three birthday candles to the birthday cake. We also had her name spelled out in scrapbook letters. We arranged her name on a large sheet of paper and put her self-portrait image on the paper along with her age and birthday cake worksheet. Alexandra also completed a worksheet where she stamped her name and birthday using block stamps and ink. She added this sheet to her poster. She also completed a stamp art project on a dinosaur shape stamping horns with upside down uppercase V's and scales with uppercase O's. Alexandra's work was excellent today!

The frosting on the donut of her super day was when a new student came to visit! Miss Judie introduced the new student to Alexandra, and Alexandra was a wonderful and welcoming ambassador of The Batt School!
