Patriotic Painting in Pre-K

Help me give my students an engaging and yet patriotic painting experience to remember!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Banes's classroom raised $203

This project is fully funded

My Students

This is my 7th year teaching and I absolutely love my Pre-K group. My group this year have great personalities, very positive, and they love to learn. My students love to be creative with drawing, writing, and building objects with a variety of materials. Anytime they hear music they dance away with lots of energy and smiles.

I love seeing them as they enter every morning.

It really makes my heart smile that I touch the lives of my students daily especially when they say, " Mrs. B. you are a great teacher". It means a lot coming from them and it motivates me to be the best teacher I can be.

My Project

The goal of this project is to teach patriotism to the students and the importance of their voice and feelings during voting season.

This project will allow my little learners the opportunity to express themselves through their painting project.

They will explain their visual expression to one another once they are done and they will be shown that it is the same as campaigning and asking people to vote for them. Their art will stand for them. the students can then vote amongst each other on their favorite art pieces. Thank you for considering this project to fund!
