My school is holding an art auction as a fundraiser this year and every class had to contribute a piece of art. I had to come up with something that parents would want to bid on.
I found the quote, "Friend, the finest word in any language" and came up with this idea. I have many children from bilingual homes. As I was looking for background paper, I found the SU scrappin kit that I hadn't even opened up yet. I used the "FRIEND" stickers from it. I ran the cardstock through my printer for the rest of the quote. My students all created a little self-portrait with their names.
I am pleased with the end result!
