My Project

My kindergarten class loves to create with paint. However, using paint with 5 year olds can get rather messy. Help me give them the opportunity to still paint their masterpieces with less mess and with washable options! Space is also limited in our kindergarten classroom. Having a rolling drying rack to use throughout the year would be great. Currently, we stick our artwork all over the classroom utilizing the small windowsills and what floor space is available to allow their masterpieces to dry.

Dot markers can not only be used to create masterpieces but to sneak in math and reading concepts.

Students can make patterns, groups to count and compare, identify and recognize letters and numbers all by using a different tool vs a boring pencil. This makes learning fun!

I have a very kindhearted class. They support and cheer on each other when accomplishments are made.
