My Project

There is a huge connection between art and academic achievement in school! Help me give me students some art supplies so they can use their imaginations and create art! Art instruction helps children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness.

Art helps our students represent their cultures history and themselves.

These paints will be used for my students to directly make images that will help them with their SEL skills, answer questions and reflect in their own ways. Thank you in advance!
