My Project

I am the K-12 Librarian at my school. I teach library and technology classes to 18 classes a week. We are very creative in our lessons! The students have weekly opportunities to create and be artistic in our lesson reflections to our read aloud books!

Merging art and literature is such an amazing opportunity for our students.

Having opportunities in different classes to let students foster creativity and art is so important!

This project will give my students new crayons, colored pencils, markers, tapes, modeling dough, and so many amazing art materials to continue to foster that creativity in our library space! I look forward to continue to show the importance of art and literacy!
