My students need art supplies to work on fine motor skills, color recognition, following directions, responsibility and being able to express themselves through art.
I am blessed to teach preschool and be a part of the first years of school for 32 kids My students vary from 3-5 years old and include both students with disabilities and typically-developing peers. Many students receive free or reduced-price tuition.
My students are curious, energetic and love to learn.
They are learning so much at this age. I try to provide them with a wide range of experiences, including academic, sensory, dramatic play and technology in order to prepare them for Kindergarten and beyond.
My Project
My students range from ages 3-5, and they primarily learn through doing. Our classroom does not have many options for art. I would like to offer my students an art center where they can choose what they want to do independently and have options available.
Art provides many learning opportunities on a variety of concepts including: fine motor skills, color recognition, following multi-step directions, responsibility (putting items back where they belong, cleaning them and using them the correct way), being able to express themselves and gain a sense of pride in their work.
These resources would be a wonderful addition to our classroom, and I feel confident in saying that my students would really enjoy them and gain a lot from using them, too.
