Foot Print Project

For an introduction activitiy our class made footprints with objects that described ourselves. During the beginning of class we stood up in the front of the classroom and described what each object meant.
This is my footprint: 

The white two heart ribbon represents that I am married. I used the two heart ribbon to show marriage because the two hearts are connecting; meaning two hearts are becoming one. The orange and blue ribbons are my two favorite colors, and they were also our wedding colors. The tent and fire represent that I enjoy going camping. The horse magazine clipping represents my hobby of riding horse. The leaves I used to show that my favorite season is fall. The dog paw print represents my dog Tori. The stickers on the bottom of the foot which are the apples, pencils, paint brushes, and rulers represent that I am going to be a teacher.

For this project we had to include our name and 3 different mediums.
An extension activity to use to get to know the students is send each student home with a paper bag, and have them put some items in the bag that represent themselves. For example, they could put a baseball in it because they enjoy baseball or played on a team or toy animals for a certain animal they like. The next day in class have the students do a show and tell with their items in their bags by describing to the class why they put the item in the bag and the meaning it has to them. This way the students can see everybody's interests and get to know them a little better.
