My Project

Students often seek creative outlets during the school day. Drawing while listening to a read-aloud, coloring a poster for a science project, and making bracelets with friends are just a few of the favorites! Supporting the students with these things will give them the freedom to relax, unwind, and enjoy part of their day. I love it when my students can just "be kids". Art allows them to do just that.

It is important to me that students are not told no to being creative simply because I cannot provide them with materials.
