This project is for all of the first graders in our online school! We want our students to have art supplies to give them a richer first-grade experience, similar to what they would have in a brick-and-mortar setting. Our students eyes light up when we give them art materials, and they can hardly wait to use them! The watercolor and chalk sets will build their anticipation for reading and writing projects through the year. The glitter and googly eyes will be used for some extra special projects. We have discovered that when we integrate art, our students are more engaged and excited to learn! They also produce better quality writing and handwriting so they can share their work with others!
