Through donorschoose.org, I decided to focus on two areas I feel will allow my students to expand their creativity and provide them with the tools for overall academic and social emotional success--books and art. By choosing books that are both on level as well as low readability, ALL my students will feel comfortable and excited to immerse themselves in the world of literature. Due to home life circumstances, many of my students have not been fortunate enough to have books and reading as a part of their lives, so by creating a room that offers multiple opportunities for reading, students will recognize the impact reading can have on their academics as well as their social emotional development. In turn, I believe their reading will inspire them to become creative in a physical sense, as I plan to put the sketch pads and and canvasses to work. Unfortunately, our school will no longer have a regular art program, and it saddens me to know that so many of my students will lose out on opportunities to show some of their most hidden strengths. Therefore, my goal is to include art in as many ways as possible, interwoven throughout all core subject areas of our day.
