My Project

Our art classroom is filled with enthusiastic and imaginative elementary students who love hands-on projects. They are eager to experiment, build, and create while learning about shapes, patterns, and geometry. These materials will inspire my students to think critically, express themselves, and develop their artistic skills in new ways.

Imagine a classroom buzzing with creativity as students build, design, and explore the connections between art and math.

I am requesting a variety of engaging materials to set up interactive art stations that focus on geometry and creative exploration. These materials include learning resources, plastic geoboards to help students explore shapes and symmetry, and MAGNA-TILES for building 3D structures and developing spatial reasoning. The Stretch & Connect Builders will provide endless opportunities for imaginative play, problem-solving, and colorful creations. Students will also use Roylco Spectrum Mosaics to craft vibrant, pattern-based art projects. These hands-on tools will inspire students to think critically, express themselves artistically, and design their own unique creations.
