It all starts with an idea, a vision , a dream........

And so it begins ......

Thank you to the dedicated teachers at woodland elementary for applying for a grant so this project can come to fruition.
And thank you to the Lakewood Education Foundation for the generous gift of the grant!


I wanted this project to be a "green project" , so I decided to use all recycled materials.
I have started to collect tile samples and I must say I have many!
The first thing I did was to have the children draw their vision of what they would like this project to look like.
I received many wonderful drawings , I have decided to use several ideas.
I will use a projector to blow up the images on a four foot square sheet of paper.
Add a few of my own ideas and then I will cut the drawing into one foot sections.
Keep following the blog as I post pictures and the work in progress.

The end result of this project will be on display in the school.
It will measure four foot square.
The children will be helping me throughout this project.
I am so thankful that I've been given this opportunity.
