My Project

My students love to learn about a specific topic. We usually love to learn facts and statistics about a certain topic. Since we have done that, the kids love to do a project that goes along with what they learned. Having the paint and brushes gives them the opportunity to create something special. The cardstock is used for projects as well. I can run a certain project on card stock, and the students can paint or create using the design ran off on card stock. They are just so excited! Thank you for your consideration.
