Remember creating your first work of art in school that you were truly proud of? Remember telling your teacher you were done and taking it home and showing your mom and dad? I want my students to experience pride in their work. I want them telling me and their parents about their work of art.
My students are super bright students who love to do art projects.
They love making art with glitter and paint. They love working with their hands with playdough. I want to put these items in their hands daily in my class. My school works great with my class. My principal backs us in everything we do for my kids. They love working with their hands in my room. I want to keep the creative juice's working in my room.
My Project
My students will make Easter and Valentine cards, along with Mother's Day and Father's Day cards. They will use the glitter to make it "Bling" for their parents. With the playdough, they will make statues and work their fine motor skills to improve their writing and work the muscles in their hands. This will help with pencil grip as they get older.
These items will improve my students excitement about learning.
They love making things in my room and I want to be able to put glitter in their hands for them to use. They love using playdough and they ask for it daily. I want them to use it daily in my room. This will motivate them to learn.
