My Project

This project will have art supplies ready for our new school year. I am grateful -that I get to have my students for 6 years. I teach grades Kindergarten-5th grades. I have an opportunity to form a relationship with my students. I have so many students who love to draw, so we need art supplies. Colored pens, pencils, individual clipboards, and colored legal pad paper will help.

Our school system is small, so we don't have art teachers.

I plan to help my little artist grow and reach their potential as rising artist. We will use a program called Art-on-the-Go for Beginners to introduce art lessons and move my students at their own pace.
