My Project

My students are so happy to use their creativity throughout the school day. The curriculum has become so rigid that we are not always able to give students crafty opportunities. Having independent centers that include arts and crafts is so beneficial to these poverty-stricken students who don’t get these resources at home. We would love to have tempera paints in the primary colors as well as some light purple, in order to give students a rainbow of colors at their disposal. They will use their creative side while practicing so many other essential skills of development.
