My Project

My plan for the summer learning are creativity and fun. I can integrate reading, writing, math, and art during the summer so students should be able to participate in activities they truly enjoy and are able to bring home to use, again and again.

Students will want to return each day to participate in these hands-on art-based activities that will teach them patience, color balance, creativity, and perseverance.

With the requested materials such as pots and lamp paint kits, students will use their imagination and prior knowledge to create their own plant pots and night lamps. The activities will encourage thinking outside the box and hands-on learning. Students will have the opportunity to learn while creating and hopefully bring their knowledge to others during the summertime when regression can be at its highest. Students will love the unique opportunity to create and enjoy lessons/activities that are mainstream and will encourage various points of view while completing these crafts.
