My Project

Having modeling clay, washi tape, paper, and other art supplies at children's fingertips is so important. Arts and crafts help with children's fine motor skills and are also a great way to encourage creativity and help with social emotional learning by allowing opportunities for them to express themselves and build confidence. This project will allow me to continue to give my students crafts daily. My students get to be creative, improve motor skills and display with pride their art. Over the years when I bump into past students they always mention the fun craft supplies they had at their finger tips for creative class projects and to be able make fun presents for friends and family. Having regular arts and crafts in the classroom also allows for my students to write about what they have created. Crafts can extend to all subject areas and makes learning incredibly fun.
