My Project

My second-grade students are energetic children and enjoy learning. They come to school each day with curious minds waiting to be filled with knowledge.

They have many interests and drawing is one that they love the most.

The sketch pads, pencils, and sharpeners will give them ample opportunity to work on their drawing skills and will be a fun activity to practice their fine motor skills too.

My goal for them is to have a compilation of all their completed artwork and for them to see and be proud of their growth in the process of creating art.
