My Project

As the new school year is approaching, the classroom could use some new materials. My students love to create new things and express themselves. When the students go into centers, the art center is one that allows them to express themselves the most. The art center has markers, crayons, pencils, paint, stickers, paper, glue and more materials that allow the students to exhibit their creativity.

My students love to be creative and new art supplies will allow them to express themselves artistically.

Receiving new materials for the art center will be very essential and beneficial. Art plays a major roll in early childhood development. It will help my students with fine motor, cognitive and language development. I can't wait to see the work of my little artists. They will be be so excited to explore new art materials in their classroom.
