My Project

We will use the paints, brushes, Q-tips, pencils and drawing notebooks to express feeling and ideas creatively without having to write or use words. The use of the Model Magic and Playdoh will be used to use their hands to create through various topic challenges. In our circles we will do collaboration activities that will utilize the solo cups. Sometimes during our circles the conversation can get intense so that is the purpose of the various stress balls and the Playdoh too. And last are the whiteboard paddles, markers and erasers for have conversations not verbal and playing games.
