My Project

Pre-k students brighten the world with their ability to soak up so much information and still want to learn more. I really want to help grow their creative side this year. Having items such as butcher paper, paint brushes, tissue paper squares, and popsicle sticks will give them the tools to grow through their art. Art is good stress relief; it can help a kid turn his day around. They will learn problem-solving skills and gain self-confidence through working out how they want to create the project we are working on. There is nothing better than watching a kiddo get excited when finishing his masterpiece! Thank you for being so kind as to help create a world full of color for my students!
