My Project
Art and craft supplies, like paint, should be in every classroom because they give kids a chance to be creative, express themselves, and learn in fun, hands-on ways. Not every student learns best by just reading or writing—some understand things better when they can draw, build, or create. Art also helps kids relax and focus, especially if they’re feeling overwhelmed. Plus, making things with their hands helps them develop important skills they’ll use in everyday life, like problem-solving, patience, and working with others.
-rock painting kit will be used as a desk pet the kids will need to take care throughout the year
-no mess paint gives us an opportunity to quickly get creative with a quick clean up after.
How our kids learn and interact with the world is changing and so many of the youngest don't have the opportunity to get creative and messy on a regular basis, so please help me give them the opportunity to do this.
