My Project

My project is aimed at capturing my students' creative side. My students are very artistic and love to draw both on paper and on the computer.

Our lessons for reading can be very intense at times.

I feel that when children can recreate a scene from the text, they better understand the text, especially when they are reading more complex texts.

With the ink and pape, I can give my students the opportunity to show what they have learned. They can share their creations with not only the class, but the whole school.
