My Project

TK students learn to be creative through art. Playdoh allows them to strengthen hand muscles through play. Using their fingers to mold and shape helps develop fine motor skills.

Art improves hand-eye coordination.

Coloring enhances the imagination with limitless possibilities. They are learning to plan, experiment and problem solve when they draw. Their confidence is boosted. Art allows TK students to showcase their imagination.

Art allows students to learn about colors, shapes and sizes. Art boosts critical thinking and can be a calming activity for students. Please help my students enhance their learning and develop fine motor skills with the requested Crayola markers, colored pencils and crayons.

Having a printer in my room allows for quick copies as they are needed. I would love to access to a quick printer for prepping and preparing color pages, making playdoh mats and making quick copies of student work..
