Lesson Plan
Students can customize these art projects with die-cuts, photographs and illustrations. Laminate the projects for practical use and consider displaying them for back-to-school time or Open House. These placemats are great icebreakers for the beginning of the year, as students and teachers learn about each other and the special talents of individuals in the classroom community. The projects can also be created as special gifts year-round. As part of an end-of-the-year celebration, consider using the mats to highlight favorite things students have learned in class.
