My Project

In my classroom we would use these materials to support student creativity with a variety of colors and options. With enjoying their flexible seating with these floor seats and access to their donated materials, my students will be free to explore. They will learn the proper way to care for what was given to them and show respect to materials that were given to them.

A world full of color to explore!

We are requesting crayons and markers in colors that represent what their skin looks like as well as primary colors that they can use to decorate their art. With dry erase boards they can showcase their work and expand their thinking. The things my students will come up with will be endless. I will look forward to sharing what they can create.
