My Project

The markers, scissors, glue sticks, and paints will provide my students plenty of options to unleash their inner artist. They write daily with dry erase markers, but the materials in the project will provide different mediums that will further allow them to develop as writers and artists.

My students are 3 and 4 years old.

This is their first school experience, and they are still trying to master the appropriate pencil grip. The vibrantly colored papers and materials will provide my students endless options to create. The scissors and dry erase markers will help to develop their fine motor skills.
