My Students

My students are enthusiastic and artsy 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. They love learning something new whether it is a new skill... technique... or artist.

At my school students are served art class starting in the 3rd grade so coming to the art room should be really special for them.

My school has a diverse student body with a multicultural background. I love that my students are kind and accepting of all no matter our differences. My students are adventurous and are never afraid of making mistakes-they dive into art full heartedly drawing with black oil pastels that don't erase. I frequently see them admiring each others art hanging in the hall. It brings me great joy to see them smile and point out their own art and their favorites.

My Project

Makey Makey is a way to invent or create anything imaginable! This exciting and easy to use tool introduces students to the world of coding and encourages creativity. My students will love learning how to code with scratch using these fun and engaging Makey Makey sets.

Makey Makey is a tool that transforms everyday objects that conduct electricity into the keys on your computer- Bananas that play music- Graphite drawings with added sound effects- The possibilities are endless.

My students will love being creative and trying something new. Engagement in the arts is a wonderful way to bring learning to life. Integrating technology and STEAM in the art room are wonderful ways to prepare my students for the future.
