My Project

Art can help improve my students' well-being by allowing them to express their ideas, emotions, and perspectives through creative activities. It's been widely recognized as a way to encourage personal growth, mindfulness, and self-discovery.

Helping my students with social emotional learning through art will provide an increased sense of safety and support, better relationships with teachers, peers, and stronger feelings of belonging and inclusiveness in schools.

Some of the art supplies I have requested include: glow-in-the-dark paint, Model Magic modeling dough, construction paper, paint brushes, art paper, erasers, and colored pencils.

Art can help my students to express there emotions throughout there day. Students will be able to display their artwork in our classroom and be able to show family as they continue to grow with each other's help.
