Making hearts with hands.
We’re working on decorations for the Spring concert next week, drawing friends.
The theme is friendship. I’ll make a photo for each student in this third grade and thought that maybe notecards would be nice, too. Several were absent today so it was easier to fit everyone in.
How they helped me out this afternoon after the weekly photo challenge was posted: Hands. We had a lot of fun. I told them the problem of creating a heart with all of their hands. This is how they experimented with me.
They were very excited to help and try to accomplish the objective. Working together and all being part of something was a good exercise in friendship. The only part I was directing was reminding them to not let their heads get in the way so I could see their hands from the chair where I was standing. All students were engaged in learning.

Love these.
These photos are so lovable!
I love these.. My fav is that first one.. Just gorgeous with all those sweet little hands.. Shaped like the planet:)
This challenge and your response to it are my favorite. The picture of the hands was amazing.
Perfect, Ruth. I bet there was a whole lot of giggling going on!

It’s a great photo. Well all of them, and not to date myself but reminds me of the Benneton commercials.
