My Project

I love seeing kids create and explore in the classroom. My students will use these items to create and explore art and design. My students have diverse learning needs. Being at home for many months has created a great need for kids to express themselves emotionally. Students will use the resources requested here to reflect and show their feelings. Also, learn and utilize self-regulation strategies while in my classroom.

Students find themselves when they are able to express through creativity and also connect on a deep level to the content that they are learning when learning through making with these items.

Art integration is such a powerful tool. Every student can learn through creativity and exploration and that is my goal with this project.
