My Project

Preschoolers love art, exploration, and getting a little messy. One of the favorite art activities each year is painting! I would love to add a variety of watercolor coloring pages for students to work on independently during the Choice Times throughout the day! The pouches will hold our writing and math supplies, and they will be stored in student chair pockets so students can access their materials easily and independently.

Art is important in early childhood education because it helps children develop creativity, social skills, and cognitive abilities.

Art encourages children to explore and experiment. Art can help children develop a love of learning and motivation to go to school. We appreciate your support in helping our students to feel confident, smart, and be creative while working on fine motor skills, getting their finger muscles stronger, and color recognition!
