Our classroom is an Intensive Intervention Special Education Classroom in an elementary school. The students that we teach are in grades kindergarten, first, third, and fourth. These children range in ages from 5-9 years old. Intensive Intervention means these students stay with us all day with the exception of being pulled out to go to the speech room or other necessary therapies. Our school is located in a rural and agricultural community in North Carolina where family incomes and state revenues are especially low right now. Since none of these children communicate with words, art has become a means of expression and communication. Painting, tearing, gluing, and coloring have all become a method of teaching for the educators and a method of reciprocal communication for these students. Their faces light up when we go down the hall and they see art they have made after reading a story decorating the school.
