I work in a school district in East Texas that serves a diverse variety of families. Our school houses Pre-K through 3rd grade, and we foster a family environment among our teachers and our students.
Like most kindergartners, my students are very inquisitive and they LOVE to learn!
My goal is to create a safe learning environment for them, such that every day, they know they are valued, respected, and able to make new discoveries without fear of getting it "wrong."
I consider it a privilege to be a part of my students' lifelong learning journey! They bring so much joy and excitement to our classroom!
My Project
Our class is full of budding and inquiring minds! We love to learn, and we LOVE to create! Our school does not offer art as a class, so it's up to the classroom teachers to make sure students are being exposed to the wonderful world of color and imagination come to life in physical form.
Studies show that art integration in the classroom helps learners with development of motor skills, language skills, problem solving, and social emotional learning.
Art in the classroom gives each student, even pre-literate learners, an opportunity to express themselves. Students can show how they understand and relate to material they are learning in class, and then share with their peers the work they are so proud of.
With the arts and crafts supplies from this project, my students will be able to create collages, pictures, and puppets to reflect understanding of literature we read as a group. The paints and paper will be used to create directed paintings as we study illustrators and artists from children’s literature, as well as free form paintings to accompany their writer’s workshop pieces. The paints will also be used to create holiday crafts to hang in our classroom, and to share with our community and families.
