I'm really intrigued by these self-portraits the third graders in my dyad placement have made. They made them in their first month of school, so I have only seen the finished products. They don't have the kids' names on them either, which makes them fascinating to look at. Once when I was studying them, a student came up to me and said she didn't like the way hers turned out. She pointed out hers, and I looked at it for a moment. It can be tempting to say something to the contrary when a child says they don't like something they made, to try to talk them out of feeling that way.
