My Project

This is an opportunity for my very first kindergarten class that I am teaching to experience learning in a more fun way! We plan on painting alphabets and learning colors and shapes with the play-doh! I think they will be so excited to learn using paint and play-doh, doing hands-on things and learning at the same time. I also requested window markers just to make some lessons more interesting! I think they are gonna love it all and be so appreciative they they were able to experience this form of learning...with ART! Thank you so much for giving them a slice of happiness during their lessons!
