Book Review
Brigid is having fun with her markers until she goes overboard and paints on herself with her super-indelible-never-comes-off-till-you're-dead markers. Nothing will remove the colour, so she finds the purple marker and covers up all the other colours. She looks better than before--too good to be true.
I read Purple, Green, and Yellow to the class. The class loved the idea that Brigid was able to colour herself with felt markers. Lots of kids think about doing it but would never do it.
We decided that we would colour our faces with super-indelible-never-comes-off-till-you're-dead markers too. Check out our faces. They are "works of art."
Here are close-ups of two of the faces.
•
Mrs. Hansen took a picture of our face with the digital
camera. We were standing in front of a white
background. •
She cropped the picture to show only a portion of a
face. •
Mrs. Hansen adjusted the brightness of the photo so it would
lighten the photo. •
Next, she printed the photo in black and white. •
We brought our
super-indelible-never-comes-off-till-you're-dead markers
from home. We shared our markers with the students that
didn't have any. •
We went "crazy " with the markers and created our own
unique designs. •
Our "faces" were mounted on construction paper and displayed
in the hallway. Some moms even needed help finding their
child's face.Each photo was assigned a number. Official
entry forms were provided for the Who Am I? Contest. The
first entry drawn out of the entry box with all the mystery
faces correctly identified received an official Robert
Munsch poster and a prize from Mrs. Hansen's treasure box.
Amazing faces and lots of fun!!!!!
