My Project

This year my students have shown me that they love to do projects that include art, dramatic play and engineering. They enjoy making puppets from paper bags and creating their own characters to act out. These superhero, animal, and robot masks will allow them to color their own while practicing their speech sound or language skills. At the end of the session, they can tell stories acting out their story with the characters they have created.

My students have discovered a love of art and engineering this year that I'd like to support.

With paper and markers they build and design new inventions describing how they'd be used, and draw elaborate pictures of buildings or imaginary characters. The Create a Rocket Pulley would allow my students to expand these art and engineering skills. The Kwik Stix Paint Sticks would allow them to do some painting in my room without needing to create an entire paint station during their sessions. The child sized smocks will keep their clothes safe while getting messy!
