My Students
I have the pleasure of teaching art to some of the most creative Pre-K to second grade scholars in St. Paul. They love to use their creative minds in all that they do and I am learning from these amazing children every day. We work together to support each other's strengths and talents and allow them to shine in our classroom. Our school is very diverse and takes pride in welcoming and engaging all scholars and families. We are committed to creating a school family where kids feel safe, loved, and connected.
As a school, we take pride in creating an environment where we celebrate diversity and "inspire all scholars to reach high levels of social and academic achievement and to become future leaders through a collaborative system of support" (our school's mission statement).
My Project
I have been teaching art in person to my amazing scholars since February! We have been exploring and learning together. It is so nice to build relationships in person. I have noticed my scholars love learning through play more than ever since this pandemic began.
I would love to offer new materials to my scholars so that they can have hands on materials to explore the elements of art.
I would like to offer a variety of opportunities for my scholars to explore and build connections in their brains. The kinetic sand and molding materials will be a fun way for my scholars to build sculptures and learn how different materials can be used for building. The color paddles and tubes will be a hands on way to learn primary and secondary colors.
