I am a first year teacher with the opportunity to enrich the minds of 18 lively kindergarten students at an all kindergarten school. Our whole day is centered around five year old hearts and minds. Our school is a Title I funded school. Most of the students in my classroom receive free or reduced lunch. It is important to me that my classroom be a warm and inviting learning environment, full of opportunities. I work hard to give each of my students every possible opportunity they need in order for them to be successful not only in school but in life as well. I believe that art is an extremely important part of a child's education. Not only does it help students open up the creative side of their brain, but art teaches students that there is more than one way to solve a problem. By having an art easel in the classroom, my students would have a means to express their creativity and experience the world of art as an actual artist.
