My Project

I am a new art teacher at my school. It has been brought up many times about ways to make our school community beautiful and bring the students together. Many places flood or get very saturated when it rains. I would like for the lower elementary classes to learn how to take care of supplies while creating things to solve problems at our location.

We want to make stepping out of the car or through the school beautiful.

We will paint premade stepping stones to learn how to care for supplies. We will also make name rocks to fill in puddle areas while taking ownership and pride in learning each other's names.
