All Things: We Love Our Color

Help me give my students a bright and COLOR-FILLED experience this February.

My Project

Make a difference...that is the plan.

Whether this February or in months to come, it is so important to give children a foundation that is positive and healthy when it comes to their identity!

Creating a class that sees color and respects each other no matter what that color may be is my key. My students are all BRIGHT! They are colorful in their skin they are in, the color of their uniforms, their personalities, the way they speak, the way they treat each other, and so much more. By receiving these crayons, markers, and Play-Doh along with coloring books, beads, and pipe cleaners, I plan to plant a seed that will grow on in their lives as they continue to learn more about themselves and those that surround them, ALL cultures!
