My Project

My project consists of two flexible stools that will allow the students to move around while they are using their imagination and be creative. It also consists of Lysol wipes that will be used to clean up the classroom. Our project has markers, crayons, paper, glue sticks, laminator, lamination, book tape, Sharpies, and pencils. This will allow the students to have a variety of materials to create anything they want to create. This project will give them the flexibility to be creative and make whatever they want to make. It also consists of tickets that will be used to "shop" at the classroom store to buy their favorite art supplies. This will help teach students about financial literacy at an early age. We will discuss the importance of saving for the things you really want or need.
