My Project

My young students love to create. They draw, cut, and glue on the daily so we go through lots of paper and glue sticks. Through all of this, they are using their imagination and learning how to be artistic through exploration.

Through this project, students will have the glue sticks and construction paper they need available for them to create and explore being an artist every day.

Students will be able to make cards, pictures, and gifts for each other as well as family members and friends. They will be able to create art work that will hang on our classroom walls for everyone to see, an opportunity to validate everyone as an artist at school.
