My Project

I love that my students seek opportunities to quench their thirst for new books, art, and gaming. The twist….I love to weave fun and engagement into these opportunities. Each day, we build vocabulary, develop art appreciation, and play word games! These resources will help students improve their reading relationships with books, grow their appreciation for art, and take their vocabulary to the ninth planet!

These resources will give students a break from digital learning and pre-packaged creativity.

It will allow them to earn an appreciation for old-school paper books, hand-held art supplies, and hands-on vocabulary scaffolding. I can’t wait to see their faces when reading, visual arts, and vocabulary skills are put in their hands….in the BAG!
