My Project

There is so much learning happening in the classroom with my students. They work hard throughout the year learning how to read, write, draw, spell, count, add, subtract, speak, and listen.

But more than anything, what my students need are some fun arts and crafts projects and activities that they can do to align with all the learning that's happening in the classroom.

I want my students to be able to appreciate learning and make connections through arts and crafts projects. This can be shown through holidays projects, special school events, fundraising activities. Help bring out the creativity and fun for my students with various needs, but the one thing they all have in common is the fun they have and smiles they show in making something special and creative.
