The arts are losing funding left and right. We are lucky to be able to have art in our school at all. I want to be able to give my students a similar art experience to the one I had that gives them self-esteem and encourage them to be successful in all subjects. I teach in a high poverty Title 1 school that services students from the women's shelter and has a very high percentage of students that receive free or reduced lunch. We have a wonderfully diverse student population, giving us unique opportunities to learn about different cultures. It makes our school dynamic more interesting and very fun. My students come to school ready to learn and try new things. Over the last 2 years they have shown exceptional growth and deserve the best education we can give them. The opportunity to incorporate the arts into the themes they're learning throughout the year helps solidify ideas and gets them excited about what they're learning.
