Goals
My goal for this curriculum unit is to dive into the essence of an identity in an elementary age student, focusing on the younger three grades in particular (kindergarten, first, and second). I want to work with my younger students to discover how they define themselves at such a young age, and at a stage in their life where they are often told to be or do things, rather than self-direct. I want my unit to make my students think about who they are as themselves, and as others perceive them. I then want to challenge my students to answer the topic of identity through art. I find that the stronger my relationship is with my students the harder they work. Strengthening our relationship of teacher and student will greatly affect the atmosphere of my classroom, the morale of my school, and the enjoyment of teaching and learning.
