My Project

Hello and thank you for taking time to look at my DonorsChoose list. I am a K-5 art teacher at a Title 1 school. I see nearly 600 students each week in my art room. Our classrooms are inclusive with many students needing different adaptive tools. The adaptive scissors and pencil grips will allow students to create with confidence, knowing they won't struggle with dexterity or grip issues. Please help me meet the need of all my students so they can create with supplies that work for them. Again thank you for your time!
