Footprint Project

We have created Footprints to introduce ourselves to the class using different mediums and creative ideas too show our interests and what we enjoy in life. This project is very similiar to that of the handprint project which shows how unique each person is. Our footprints take it a step further by forming and creating the outline of the footprint and our interests inside. 


My footprint includes six different items that show who I am and my interests. Starting with the heel, I made a softball which shows that softball is a big part of my life and has been since I was four years old. The number 12 in the middle of the softball is my favorite number and has been since I started playing sports. It also was my dad's number on his ball team in the Navy. In the middle of the foot, I colored a fall leaf that symbolizes my love for the fall season and being outdoors. The camoflauge on the outline of the foot is also a symbol of my love for the outdoors and my favorite color is camoflauge! The family tree in the center shows that my family plays a very big role in my life and they are the most important people to me. I have three sisters, four nephews, and a neice. Never a dull moment in the Huback family! Towards the toes on my footprint, I have made a cowboy hat with music notes because I enjoy listening to country music. I have also created a cereal box and have drawn a cup of coffee which shows that I absolutey love breakfast. If I do not start my day off with a cup of coffee and breakfast, my day is completely thrown off!



An extension activity I could do to introduce students along with the footprint is an AutoBio Poem.

The first line: Your first name only
The second line: 4 traits that describe you
The third line: brother/sister of.. or son/daughter of..
The fourth line: Who loves .. ( 3 things/person)
The fifth line: Who feels.. ( 3 things)
The sixth line: Who would like to see.. ( 3 items/places/things)
The seventh line: Who fears.. ( 3 things)
The eighth line: Resident of .. ( your city)
The ninth line: Your last name only

This activity is a great way for the students to get to know one another and it fits perfectly with their unique footprints!
