My Project

My students are sweet, loving, and creative children. These students love to design, create, and build daily. Often times, they are creating things to give to others in our school to spread joy out of the kindness of their heart. We have an art center in the classroom that they use multiple times throughout the day. Construction paper is a large part of our art center. Without this construction paper, my students will not have the means to continue making art and sharing their masterpieces with others.

Our goal with this project is to give our students a way to express themselves through art and creativity.

We will not only use construction paper for the art center, but for small group activities to enhance the learning of reading, math, and science. Construction paper can take a simple lesson and bring it to life for our preschool students. We would be grateful for your support with this project!
