My Project

In my classroom, we get to have Fun Friday every Friday! Last Friday I pulled out the one watercolor pallet I had, and my students were so excited. I realized my kiddos need some paint, brushes and other materials to express themselves! With these art and crafts materials organized on a rolling cart Fun Fridays and other activities will encourage my students to be creative and to explore art in new ways.

My hope is to give students the resources they need to fall in love with art!

My students are already so creative and unique, I would love to see their curiosity and enjoyment for art continue to grow.
