Engaging All of My Little Ones in Art Class!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pool's classroom raised $336

My Project

As an art teacher, it can sometimes be difficult to engage my little ones in art lessons. Especially Kindergarten! With smaller children, they need fun and creative transitions throughout the class period to keep them from getting wriggly! Most of my little ones have trouble focusing on tasks given. Some of my little ones are non verbal with different disabilities and cannot fully comprehend the art lessons taught to the rest of the class. I think it would be amazing if I can implement centers into my art classes for my smaller students to keep everyone engaged, focused, and moving throughout the class.
