My Project

Art is such an important aspect in anything we do! I want students to be able to understand their world through art. We are asking for some different things like colors of the world crayons, colored pencils, and markers in order to represent all races, paint, watercolors, and playdoh to be able to learn through art projects! Thank you for thinking about my 3rd-5th graders with this project. We will be able to retell stories through rereading scenes with playdoh, illustrating major events, or even drawing our characters. Students will be thrilled to explain their thinking and learning by using different materials and creating. We appreciate your support in this project and for helping students express themselves through art!
