This was a quick one-day project I did to reinforce the concept of symbols. In their home classroom, students have learned about symbols in all different ways- road signs, symbols in math like plus signs, symbols that represent our country like the bald eagle, even symbols that stand for words- like in the language our Japanese buddies use!
In this lesson, students recognized that a heart is a symbol for love. I showed them a picture of what our real hearts look like inside our bodies, and made sure they knew that our biological hearts are different from the heart shape we normally draw! That shape is used as a symbol to represent that we love something. Students drew or traced a heart and filled the shape with symbols representing things that they love- their families, favorite activities, special holidays, favorite foods, special places they visit... anything they could think of to represent themselves. We finished up by painting with tempera cake paints.
