My Students

In my class, we are always working on becoming lifelong learners who are excited about knowledge! We are the youngest learners at an incredibly diverse school. We come from many different backgrounds and speak so many different languages! We may be 4 years old, but our future is already so bright!

My students are coming to school for the very first time.

They are so eager to learn and engage with their peers! The best part of working with my students is that they all accept and love each other regardless of all their differences.

My Project

Wow! My little PreK friends have been ROCKING this school year. They are so curious about learning and are fantastic artists, but in order for them to reach their artistic potential--we need some more tools!

Help me provide some additional art supplies to my rocking PreK kiddos so they can reach Picasso status.

To be the very best and most creative artists that they can be, we need some special items. It's no surprise that we go through a lot of supplies in the PreK classroom every year! These supplies will help bring out my students creativity and love for all things art! Kwik Sticks and tag board for easel art and construction paper and collage materials will help students develop fine motor and problem solving skills while fostering their individuality. Don't forget a speaker to listen to soothing music as these little artists get to work and binders for their first artistic portfolios!
