My Project

These students come from low-income families in our small area. We strive to teach them not only academics but social-emotional skills, like managing your emotions, interacting with others, and having respect and manners for everyone.

One way we do this is by allowing them all to make their very own creations and express themselves through art and sculpting.

In doing this, students learn that everyone is different and likes different things and that is ok. We don't all have to be the same, in fact, being and doing things differently is what makes us great.

The bins will be used in order to keep unfinished art projects altogether to be worked on another day. We can make sculptures with Play-Doh, build machines with the gears, and have fun tracks with the magnetic marble run. Obviously, the rest of the supplies will be for really expressing their imaginations through other mediums and making their very best creations to share with the world.
