My Project

I have been a teacher for over 15 years. Having 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. My scholars love making things for their families at hom his project will allow my scholars to make holiday gifts at no cost to them to give to a loved one at home.

My students get creative, improve motor skills, and proudly display their art.

Over the years, when I bump into past students, they consistently mention how their parents still have the project they made in class. Th s year, I am trying to prepare everything for all the holidays so that I can give creative gifts throughou e school y r. Having regular arts and crafts in the classroom also allows my students to write about what they a e created. rafts can extend to all subject areas and make learning incredibly fun.
