My Project

It's hard to believe that I am planning for summer already, but it will be here before we know it. The children in my class are pretty special and I would love to send them off on summer break with some fun things.

I can already imagine my students wearing their new sunglasses while drawing flowers and bugs with their chalk or blowing and chasing bubbles!

I am hoping that by providing these items, my children and their families will be encouraged to spend time outdoors together this summer. Along with drawing, children can use the chalk to practice writing their name.
