My Project

My children use markers in the morning to practice writing their names, and for making expressive creative artwork! Since children use markers daily, they dry up quickly.

Colorful creations with different types of materials will help child bring out the children's inner artist.

Having foam shapes will help my children to learn their shapes, color sorting and be able to make awesome art. Color alphabet beads will teach the younger children the letters and the older children beginning site words.

Please help my class to become little artists in a literacy rich environment.
