My Project

Hands on art projects help our students to learn in so many ways. Cutting, pasting, painting and drawing are all wonderful manipulative activities for the children, especially the 18 little learners we have in our class. They learn while having fun and making masterpieces! We go through so many of these items in a daily basis and it’s so sad when they run out. Our little artist love to play and create and to proudly display their work for all to see and to make our classroom the beautiful, vibrant art museum that we get to learn in everyday!
