My Project

I love that my students are creative and add so much knowledge to the world through their creativity! These resources will help my students obtain the items they need to learn valuable information as well as share their knowledge in creative and colorful ways! My students will have the opportunity to research using nonfiction books and share their knowledge through written pieces and artwork. They will have writing kits full of the necessary supplies needed to complete their tasks. Items such as various paper, pencils, highlighters, markers, etc, that will help to enhance their creativity and produce quality pieces.
