My Project

My students have special needs and often need reinforcement of lessons. Projects about the lessons enable my students to immerse themselves in the subject matter. Using kinetic learning and art often enables a fuller understanding of the subject matter.

Supplies such drawing pens, canvases, and acrylic paint sets will enable me to bring lessons to life.

These supplies such as art supplies are very difficult to come by in my district. The supplies enable the students to participate in learning games using art. Budget cuts have stopped any ordering of supplies. It is my priority to give opportunities to my students and I ask you to help me with your donations.
