My Project

My students have a love for art and creating. I want to provide them with painting supplies and Kinetic Sand to fuel their creativity. Because of our fast-paced curriculum, we have little opportunity to build this in during the year outside of art class.

The end of the year allows time for my students to produce works of art that they are proud of and excited to share.

In addition to using the classroom as a creative space, I want my students to have the tools they need to create at home.
