My Project

The use of paint and crayons is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially during center time. Using a play based model, students are always drawing, writing and coloring. My students love to create art with paint and other materials. This allows them to use their creativity and imagination to create one of a kind works of art. The problem is we are running out of supplies for the spring!

My goal for this project is to allow students to create art, daily.

Allowing students to be creative in school makes school more enjoyable and encourages students to find their passion.

What makes these students special is they are the young learners in the public education system. The more we spark joy in education, the more successful they will be in their academic journey.
