My Project

Thank you for investing in our learners, staff, and school community. Our students deserve every opportunity and equitable access to engage in high yield and responsive learning opportunities. We are so excited about this project, Pastels, Crayons, Paints, Oh My! and hope you are too!

These amazing visual arts resources will be used across content to integrate new creative ways for students to demonstrate their understanding and show what they've learned.

It is so important for our students to have access to creative artistic outlets as both expression of self and of knowledge. The pastels, crayons, colored pencils, paints, and more are all tools that students will access year-round! I can't wait to see illustrations of character development, comic strips of story endings, graphs and charts in informational reports, diagrams and labeling of animal or natural disaster reports, biography sketches, and more!

Thank you for generosity and helping us create the best learning spaces and opportunities as possible for our deserving students. We are so grateful!

Grades 3-5
