My Project

Hi! I am excited to get started with this new school year!

I am focused on developing standard-based projects that allow students to bring their thoughts to life and close the social gap that COVID-19 caused for so many of them.

The pandemic has put a gray haze over some students and I would love to use these coloring utensils to brighten not only the projects but also the hallways and classroom with a little bit of color. I want to construct my social studies lesson plans to end with an interactive project throughout each unit and allow students to gain back some of the learning that was lost during the pandemic. All the utensils that are on this list will allow students to put new life into their projects, especially with the Colors of the World pencils and markers. Those colors mean more to my students because they feel as though they can create their art more accurately. Thank you for being so supportive!!
