Creating with PAINT!

Help me give my students a variety of paint supplies so they can use their imaginations when creating. Brushes, colors, and paper will enable them to expand their experiences using their senses.

My Project

Using paint to feed my students' curiosity will allow them to explore and experiment. It is fun for the students to be given freedom to paint. While having fun the students are also practicing critical thinking skills along with a variety of other skills like, motor, cognitive, math and language skills.

My goal while each student is painting is to focus on the process.

While in my classroom, each student has a safe place to create and express themselves. Each student will be encouraged for their effort while painting.

I am the lucky one who gets the opportunity to teach and learn from close to 500 students ranging from PK-3rd grade/General and Special Education. They all bring something special to our classroom! Their uniqueness is respected while we have fun learning together!
