I feel so lucky that I get to share my days with this amazing group of 4th graders. These students are bright and inquisitive. They are brave and willing to make mistakes knowing that in the process they are learning.
Every day, my students push themselves to be creative doers, problem solvers, and critical thinkers.
They are fun to be around and I learn something new from them each day. They take care of each other, just like family. They are kind and become each other's cheerleaders.
My Project
All of our students have gone through a couple of stressful years. Anxiety is high and self-esteem is low. Art can remedy both of those concerns. Learning a new art form, creating something unique, and exploring different mediums, builds a child's self-esteem like nothing else can. Whether they are print making, using chalk pastels, or watercolors, children are happy and the worries of the world seem to disappear.
When we are given the opportunity to create, our anxiety levels dissipate and our stress goes down.
Classroom supplies that have been in need of replacement for a long time will bring a lot of joy to my students. The Seat Sacs will give us a place to store are new supplies. These items will make a huge difference in our academic learning, as well as, just help the students feel some sense of normalcy.
