My Project

Art is so important in a Prek classroom. My students are full of imagination and creativity. I want to encourage and continue to grow their love of creativity and learning. My students enjoy hands-on learning experiences and are always asking for more. Their favorite part of our school day is Art. It is where they are free to be creative and express themselves. Participating in Art activities helps children develop the fine motor skills they will need to write.

Having a variety of art activities available to children is so important in a PreK classroom.

The art materials will allow my students to create beautiful masterpieces. The construction paper, foam pieces, and other art decorations will help make our art collages eye-catching and stand out. The playdough set, stickers and other support materials will keep our artwork and writing practice interactive and engaging.
