"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep" - Anonymous. This quote defines the readers and writers of the writing process in my classroom. Students are able to pick and choose which pieces they like, and which to get rid of based on their sense of writing.
The thirty students in my class all have their own special personalities and their own writing styles.
They are always lively and ready to learn and engage in lessons. When you walk into the class, you are greeted with smiles, chatter and happiness. They enjoy learning through their writing, and being able to share their creativity through their writing and art work.
My Project
My students love to read and write. They are provided limited opportunities to express themselves on other ways. I am requesting art materials for my class so that students can create 3D projects of their writing.
My students will use the art materials in order to create dioramas based on books they have read and be able to express their creativity with a hands-on activity.
They will use the modeling clay, tissue paper and glitter glue to create scenes from stories.
These items will make a difference in my classroom by helping to give students different learning opportunities and allowing them to express themselves through art and writing.
Every student learns in a different way, some by seeing, some by listening and some by doing. These items will help to reach the different learners in my class.
