My Project

Every student is an artist, although some need a little extra nudge to tap into their creative side. I've selected books that I hope will encourage my students to see the beauty and potential in everything, even what might begin as an "oops." What about students who still aren't sure where to start? Well, even a small dot can be the start of something big!

It is wonderful to observe the calm and focus that comes over students during whole-class watercolor lessons, and watercolor is also one of the most popular activities during choice time.

We need supplies to explore our creativity and a drying rack to make space for all of our work!
