My Students

I have all the K-2nd Graders in our town and we have a mix of both rural and urban students. We also have a growing population of English Language Learners. Art is one place these students can feel successful as art does not rely upon their developing English skills. Art is universal...across any age, race and culture, rich and poor.

Each of 600 students come to my classroom for art.

We are a Choice-Based Art classroom. The students are the artists and our classroom is their studio. We discuss and try a variety of art making processes. My students are learning independence and choice-making, as well as, art.

My Project

"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it." -Peter Pan. Art is much the same way. In my classroom I encourage all students to be artists and help guide them along their artistic journey.

The reading area in the art room helps reinforce the importance of art and literacy.

Visual story telling is one of the beginning stages of literacy. Books can also be an important source of inspiration at a young age. These books will be used by students as a way to inspire creativity through the written word.

As my budget is limited I can only afford to spend it on the necessary art supplies for the year. We currently have a small reading area in our classroom. But the addition of these books would help our collection grow and diversify; helping readers of all levels and interests.
