My Project

My students love art! They are extremely creative. Every student in kindergarten through 5th grade cycles through my art classes every week, with some showing up twice a week, and others three times a week. The Art Room is a very popular place for my students. We are currently starting two new after-school art clubs as well. This is being done to fill some of the needs that our students and their families have for art enrichment activities.

My students need a beautiful new carpet to sit on at the beginning of class for instructions and a demonstration.

We sometimes start with a class circle discussion, and some students prefer to work on the carpet with a clipboard when given the option. This carpet will be perfect for my art students!
