The students have really loved how bright and vibrant the colors are. They have started using the markers at the beginning of the class for our \"mindful minute\" where they sit and listen to calming music and choose from a variety of mindfulness coloring sheets. During this time, I am afforded the opportunities to connect with each student to check-in on their mood/mental health status. This also gives me the time to take attendance and ensure all students are ready for the lesson.\r\n\r\nThe middle school artists have taken so much pride in these \"real artist\" markers. They take it upon themselves to ensure that all marker lids are returned to each marker and that they are arranged in color order. \r\n\r\nWe have also LOVED having our own sketchbooks to practice materials, brainstorm ideas, and provide written feedback to peers. Each student has used their sketchbook to document their creative process, helping to make their thinking visible to me and others. The sketchbooks have come in hand when needing to demonstrate data and growth within the lessons, units of student, and yearlong objectives. My administrators have really enjoyed seeing how students have been progressing towards mastery of the Colorado State Visual Arts Standards.\r\n\r\nThank you so very much for taking the time and effort in supporting us!
