My Project

The art kit as well as the variety of paints will enlightened my students. They enjoy blending colors and collaborating with peers as they change each primary color to a secondary color. The world of colors is one of activities I use during centers as well as an expressive tool for describing their feelings.

My goal for this project is to continue to support my students as they foster their daily task through play and connect with the real world.

Cleaning supplies, storage bins and hands-on activities will help us do this. All of my students are special to me because they thrive each day to be nurtured in a safe and welcoming environment. It is definitely my duty to create a conducive classroom to meet the needs of all of my special Pre-K students. Thank you!
