My Project

In Kindergarten we love to learn through literature, class discussion, and art. My students will learn to see the world through the eyes of another person through many of the art projects I have planned this coming year! The books I have included in this project will be read to activate my student's ideas and begin the discussions. We will be making houses as we learn about others' and how they live. Some houses will be created as a lesson to hope that all people have the basic need of a home to live in. These concepts are challenging for 5 year olds and I believe that my art projects will support understanding, empathy, and dreams for helping others.

My students will learn to work toward alleviating suffering in others by sharing their thoughts, creations, and dreams through art and discussion.

We will do an art project specifically geared in alleviating the suffering of homeless people in our community. We will give the art projects to our community resource center to hopefully bring a smile to someone in need. Kind words can go along way!

The multicultural people, hot glue, card stock, and laminating sheets will support our self portraits as we learn to recognize and celebrate our differences together. We will use the plastic drawers and plastic envelopes for organization of our compassion and empathy art center. I will label the drawers and activities so that we can use them throughout the year for all of our compassion projects.

I will measure success in your students’ understanding of compassion by writing activities and supporting students with discussion. We will create a share wall that will show off our special art projects as we make them and celebrate our learnings with others.
