My students walked in the room and practically cried happy tears. We spend so much time on our carpet. It really gives it a \"home\" feeling. \r\nToday we looked at our calendar, we said our ABCs, we danced, we sang, we laughed, and we played on our carpet. We also talked about how to be good friends and how to share. Then we used our magnetic tiles and worked together to build tall towers. When we were done, we were allowed to smash them all down. \r\nThis rug is the heart of our classroom and we use it everyday.

It is so important for students to be exposed to different types of art and art mediums and this project will help us experiment and create art with several different types of mediums including, crayon, watercolors, colored pencils and oil pastels.\r\n\r\nThis project also provided cardboard boxes that each student received to store their materials. They were able to use the Kwik Stix paint sticks to decorate their boxes and will take them home (along with the supplies) at the end of the year! Students were so excited to learn they would get their own materials and get to keep them. \r\n\r\nWe will be using these materials all school year for many art lessons. My students will get to use them beyond this school year. I believe in the importance of having art in the classroom and in your life.
