YEAR 1 IDENTITY BOXES

Ben Rojas helped our Year One students create identity boxes for their stopmotion movies. These boxes represent their exterior selves, their spirit animals, and their id monsters! They are Matryoshka dolls that fit inside one another. The project helps students learn how to draw the front, back, and sides of objects.
