My Project

Art is a fun way to foster creativity and address other preacademic needs n preschoolers! COVID really affected my little ones because they didn’t get much interaction with others. This in turn, affected their speech and behaviors.

Since my students love crafts, the materials requested in this project will help address their preacademic needs, such as communication, fine motor, and also inspire creativity.

Teaching through art is also a great way to for parents to see what their children are doing in school and help build home to school communication.
