My Project

My students enjoy expressing themselves through arts and crafts. I want to make the holidays in my classroom memorable and enjoyable for all my students. The crafts will not only allow my students to express themselves, they will also be a way to give to our community.

I hope to give my students a little happiness and help them spread happiness during this season of giving.

In turn, my students will use some of these supplies to bring happiness to the often forgotten elderly. They will write letters to the elderly in assisted living homes. Thank you for helping my students feel the holiday magic in so many ways.
