My Project

School is meant to be fun! A classroom is filled with lots to explore and do. Classrooms need to be stuffed with hands-on materials. This is the students’ classroom where nothing should be off-limits. Materials need to be stored in open shelves and out for students to use daily. The goal of classroom supplies is to use them up, not bring them out for special occasions. Learning is the special occasion.

Bright colorful storybooks about art, special smelly markers, paint pens, and watercolors are magical for four and five-year-olds to have at their disposal!

Students and teachers can work together to create a classroom community where those special items are cherished and used thoroughly. My project includes a variety of basic classroom supplies. There are art supplies that always need to be replenished every year. Things like markers, tape, and paint are classroom true blue favorites.

Building dexterity and strength in little learners is a top priority, this project includes blocks to stack and beads to lace to build our fine motor skills. These are items that are always in high demand and low supply at my school. My project also includes a few new beginning-of-the-year art storybooks that have characters that reflect my students. Characters who create! I am always trying to do better in my literature choices to reflect windows and mirrors for my little learners.
