My Project

My students will be able to show creativity with the magnetic blocks and other building materials that I have requested. They will also be able to create projects with the colored papers and poster boards. I will be able to laminate special projects with the laminating sheets.

Many of my students come from low-income families.

These students do not have access to art galleries or museums to see world-class art. I plan to show them videos of many types of art, whether it be with paper or with building materials. I have art books that students will be able to read and take home to add to their library.

The playground equipment that I have requested will be used for creative games on the playground. My students will learn to take turns with the balls and learn how to use them properly. I want my students to realize that creativity can come in many different forms!
