My Project

I am the proud teacher of 11 kindergarten and first grade students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Most of my students are nonverbal or have communication delays. In spite of this, they demonstrate an eagerness to participate and learn.

An easel in the classroom will help my students express creatively what their voices cannot.

Additionally, research has shown that daily easel work improves posture, fosters concentration, visual attention, hand-eye coordination, and fine-and gross-motor control. It will also provide an outlet for expressing themselves emotionally.

This project will provide an easel and a place to dry their masterpieces, tempera and water color paints, paintbrushes, and a splash mat to keep our floor clean, all while helping my students develop physically, emotionally, and creatively.
