The pieces of construction paper that are on my toes with names written on them are my family members. This relates to my life because it is my family that include my dad, mom, brother, and two sisters. I have them on my toes because I carry them with me wherever I go. The face of the dog that I printed off my computer relates to my life because this is my dog, Boone. The IPod is from a magazine and it relates to my life because I love listening to music. The chocolate thing is from a candy wrapper and it relates to my life because I love chocolate. The smiley face is from a magazine and it relates to my life because I like to smile. The movie reel I made from construction paper and it relates to my life because I love watching/going to movies.

 Students will make a foot that introduces themselves to the class. To create this project first the students will need to trace their foot on a piece of construction paper. Next students will need to cut out their foot. Then students will need to write their name on their foot. Students will be creative and use three mediums on their foot. Mediums mean using different types of materials such as construction paper, colored pencils, magazines, crayons, markers, etc.  Since they are introducing themselves, students will draw things and glue things on their foot. Then students will explain what the things on the foot mean.

An extension activity to use with this is having your students get into groups of two. Then I would have students trace their group member’s hand.  Then the student will write their partners name on the hand. Then they would draw things on the hand that describes their partner. But the drawings have to be different from the partner’s foot that they did before.  Also, I could integrate it in Language Arts because I can have students write a paragraph about themselves. Then I would have students get into small groups and read their paragraphs to each other.
