My Project

Because of COVID, we found that our students needed more writing and art lessons. These resources would certainly enhance our writing throughout the year. Paragraph Writing would be the building blocks for students to be able to write 5-paragraph essays. We can learn about our history during the colonial period and through the Revolutionary War and be able to showcase their work along with art projects.

Project based learning would be a great way to combine writing and art.

Students love to share their hard work with others and would love to use material that would allow them to express their ideas.
