My Project

As we all know, It's been a rough year. This activity will help brighten the day for all students and their families. You've heard the saying, "it's the simple things in life that bring the most joy"

Acts of kindness have the potential to make the world a happier place.

An act of kindness can boost feelings of confidence, being in control, happiness and optimism.

The Melissa & Doug Scratch Art Light Catcher Classroom Group Pack will bring some joy to my students. Just experiencing the ability to create some beautiful art will help them feel a great sense of accomplishment.

They will each make the crafts to give as gifts to family and friends so they can experience the power of giving. I hope this activity will bring some excitement and hope for a brighter year ahead and new beginning.
