My Students

These materials are for a wonderful group of 3rd and 4th graders whom are excited about learning! My favorite part of teaching is helping my students develop a love for learning! Our school is amazing, and it is a very warm and inviting place. We have a wonderful community of teachers, parents, and students working hard every day to help everyone succeed.

My school has a very diverse population of students and families.

We are located in what some call a bedroom community, because parents work farther from home. Some of our students are low income, English Language Learners, come from single parent homes, or are living with other guardians. It can be challenging meeting the needs of the varying abilities and backgrounds of the students, but it is something I enjoy doing. I am looking to instill a love for learning in my students.

My Project

Art has always been a passion of mine but even more so now that it is something that is often left behind in elementary classrooms. Bringing art to the classroom does so much for students! Art encourages active learning, helps students create connections to content, stimulates higher level thinking, fosters creativity, builds community and team work. " Art instruction helps children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness. Visual arts teach learners about color, layout, perspective, and balance: all techniques that are necessary in presentations (visual, digital) of academic work." -Seneca Academy

"A study of Missouri public schools in 2010 found that greater arts education led to fewer disciplinary infractions and higher attendance, graduation rates, and test scores."

By creating a pouring paint project with my students, they will be able to create something unique and special. It is the type of project that everyone can do, there is no right or wrong look.
