My Project

I have 42 gifted students in grades first through fifth. These students are from 11 different elementary schools. I have created this project to help my students with diversity.

My students will express their thoughts through their art creations.

Painting, coloring, writing, and making crafts are all creative activities. Creative expression helps children articulate their feelings and thoughts. They think critically about their world and practice visual communication. This project includes chess, checkers and backgammon. These games are played everyday around the world and they bring people of different cultures and backgrounds together.
