My Project
Art supplies are so crucial for these young kiddos who just love to use their hands! The paper, crayon boxes and markers allow them to be hands-on and create projects, such as a book report, that interact with the read-aloud books we read on a weekly basis by merging their comprehension skills with their creative thinking. The supplies will allow my students to fuel up their creativity! Oftentimes, the student's have wonderful ideas but we run out of supplies by this point in the year because they have been used so much.
The refreshment of supplies will allow the class to continue participating in art projects that they love doing and interact with the story's we read.
