Art Makes Learning Come Alive
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McGee's classroom raised $365
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Art helps the imagination and creative juices flow. Students' minds need to be stimulated to learn. Colorful paper, construction paper, pencils, and colored pencils are just what they need to do this. Let's take Reading to the next level by illustrating what we visualize, while we listen to stories of great adventures and far-off places. The file folder and labels will help us keep all of our amazing projects organized. Lastly, the tape will help us beautify our classroom with all of our wonderful work.
Help us reignite our love for reading and art! Testing is done, summer is near, so help us end our year on a positive note!
This classroom project was brought to life by LOFT
