My Students

The students at the elementary I work at are fantastic and eager learners. As the art teacher I am able to see all of the students in the whole school. My students love creating art in a fun and exciting environment!

My Project

These materials will help students learn and grow along with keeping the art room organized and clean. As our school district comes back to in-person learning messy mats will really help students have their own space on the art tables and keep the tables clean. The students can easily wipe down their messy mat in-between uses to keep it clean. Sharpie and other materials will not wear out the art tables with the use of the mat. The manipulatives requested in the project will help younger students brainstorm and use creativity in learning about 3-D sculpture and art.
