Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

"You'll never be bored when you try something new. There's really no limit to what you can do!" Dr. Suess Our four year-olds come to school eager to learn, excited to play and meet new friends.

The art area is one of the most popular sections of our classroom.

Students are welcome to create with a variety of supplies including paints, glue, glitter, googly eyes, pipecleaners, paper and scissors. They learn most from the process of the creations they make, not the end product. As you can imagine, we use materials every day and often times, we are nearly cleaned out by the end of the school year!
