My Project

I love that my students come to me eager to learn as kindergarteners. They come with a wealth of knowledge and sometimes toxic stress from home. I would like to give them something to look forward too every week on Fridays...Fun Fridays when we learn about art and create our own focusing on the styles or materials of famous artists.

I also would like to create a "clam down" corner in my classroom where the students can go when they are needing a little break from daily life.

Please help me give my little learners these gifts.
