My Project

I'm going to be moving from preschool to TK next school year and I want to give my students some new art materials I know they will enjoy. I added what I call basics in the classroom like glue, markers, paint and the ever import playdough. Many children do not get to use "messy things" at home so I like to teach them at school how to play with your mess and clean it up to. Having these basics would be a great start to getting my classroom up and running.
