My Project

Art is an important thing in any classroom no matter the age. When teaching my firsties, I try to find ways to incorporate art as often as possible. Many students learn best when they are also creating and connecting their learning to real life.

Help support us showing off our artistic abilities by providing supplies to help us create!

We are asking for different art supplies from markers, to stamp pads, paper, paint, craft sticks, tissue paper squares, googly eyes, play doh, tissue paper squares, and organizer for these items. My favorite classroom project is students using play doh to recreate their favorite book character or setting, this helps students remember these important terms. I also look forward to students using paint, colored paper, and other items we asked for to bring our learning to real life! Thank you for thinking of my students and getting their art on!
