My Students

My school is located in a small, rural community with multiple students receiving Title I services and free/reduced lunch. My classroom is full of little humans who are eager to explore all that is provided for them. Despite these challenging times, each day they come to school ready to learn in an environment that is steadily moving toward supporting these 21st-century learners.

My Project

Our Creation Station (art area) is a place for kids to get creative with their imagination. The fun and enjoyment they will have supports their emotional needs while promoting fine motor skills too. The sky is the limit when a child is given the opportunity to create!

Children love anything that gives them the opportunity to cut, fold, glue, color, draw, paint, and more!

These materials will be a great addition to the basic art supplies that are currently available. I am excited to provide my young artists opportunities to explore their creativity as they immerse themselves into a variety of art mediums.
