My Project

I am an art teacher at a therapeutic day school. I am trying to get my children into bullet journaling and water color painting for the last few weeks of school. The journal will help them connect to internal thoughts and also for visualization and planning.

I would like them to continue the practice over spring break.

I am also missing some things to continue collage and sculpting activities so they have been added to the cart. It would be greatly appreciated by me and my kids if you could help with supplies for some final projects before summer.

Thank you in advance!
