My Project

Art is so important in school, especially for our younger kiddos. I want to incorporate as much art into our learning days as possible.

Visual representation helps our younger children with memory and learning.

Drawing, coloring and using our imaginations coupled with learning subjects supports students to understand and apply. I have noticed a spark of excitement when we start drawing after we read a book. It supports our writing, story telling, and comprehension.

I would appreciate any help to make that happen. We are a Title-I school. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity.
