My Project

I am always trying to use art or crafts for students to be able to express themselves. The construction paper is perfect for creating a kindness chain or letting students identify their emotions by way of colors. The tape can be used for students to see a starting place and how much they've grown or can be a visual representation of a timeline. I would also like to create psycho educational posters and the colorful tape would make it pop. In addition, I'm running low on laminating sheets and would like to preserve activities for future groups to come.
