My Project

I absolutely love the curiosity and energy that my students bring to class. They approach every new concept with enthusiasm, and it's such a joy to see their ideas take shape. Each student has their own unique way of thinking, and I love helping them discover their strengths. Incorporating art into our daily lessons brings a smiles to many of my students faces.

Art supplies play a crucial role in their learning journey.

They provide a hands-on way to express their creativity and help reinforce what we're learning in other subjects. Students will use markers and crayons when making posters for group projects in both reading and ELA. They complete many posters to about topics, then teach their classmates. Bright, colorful posters are necessary for them showcasing their information.

The cart will allow me to organize the materials and make it easier for my students to find the supplies they need. I have also requested pencils, tape and construction paper. These materials will be used to sketch out their drawings/designs and then construction paper for various activities throughout the year.
