The students are doing a portion of her Happy Hearts design in order to reinforce their knowledge of how to use a ruler properly. I showed a demo of using a 12x4 paper, dividing it into 3 boxes by measuring the proper inches. This brought in a little math because they had to solve 12 divided by 3 to find the first inch mark and then addition (+4) to find the second inch mark.
After dividing their paper into 3 equal boxes, they had to draw a heart in each one and do vertical and horizontal zig zag lines with their ruler on top of the hearts. They then outlined everything in black sharpie and colored with crayons. I did this with 2nd through 5th grade. Higher grades had to do more complex color combinations. Here are some pictures of the results from 3rd grade:
