A Picture for a Friend

On Tuesday during free choice time, Ilana decided to draw a picture of her classroom friend, Sandy. She spent a great deal of time on creating the details in her portrait making sure that she got it just the way she wanted it to be. After she was done, she added a heart to the picture and both her and Sandy's name. She decided to hang it up in the room and even rolled the tape on the back of the picture to hang it up. She then selected the spot in the classroom, on a cabinet door, where she wanted to put it for everyone to see. She took great pride in her work and wanted everything about it to be her decision.
