Let’s energize your teaching with the power of art! If you’re ready to infuse your lessons with creativity and fun, this course is your perfect launch point. Your instructor will guide you through a series of accessible, engaging art projects designed to enrich reading and writing comprehension. You’ll discover how simple creative techniques can make a meaningful difference in reaching your students. As you learn, you’ll also create your own examples, experiencing each project just as your students would. No need to be “artistic”—we’ll explore, experiment, and learn together in a supportive environment.

Building on the spirit of last year’s session, this follow‑up course introduces art techniques we didn’t have time to explore previously, along with new approaches crafted to engage students with diverse learning styles. Participants will create hands-on projects that bridge creative expression and literacy skills, deepening reading comprehension and enriching writing instruction.

Join Dawn for a friendly, inspiring session that celebrates the powerful connection between art and literacy!
