My Project

My students love to create new things and express themselves. When the students go into centers, the art center is one that allows them to express themselves the most. The art center has markers, crayons, pencils, paint, stickers, paper, glue, and more materials that allow the students to exhibit their creativity. The easel that we currently have in the classroom has been lovingly used by my students for over 15 years. We are in desperate need of a new one!

My students love to be creative and a new easel will allow them to express themselves artistically.

Receiving a new easel for the art center will be very essential and beneficial. Art plays a major role in early childhood development. It will help my students with fine motor, cognitive, and language development. I can't wait to see the work of my little artists. They will be so excited to explore a new easel to create in their classroom.
