Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Aloha,

Please invest in my special education preschool classroom.

My students learn best through hands-on learning experiences and art has proven to be a perfect way for preschoolers to learn. Creating art challenges my students to use small motor muscles, and hand-eye coordination, and creatively express their learning journey. Creating art builds and differentiates learning and gives them another avenue to practice their skills and express themselves.

The drying rack and paper organizer will allow us to put our paper and wet projects to dry. Sensory paper and foam paint give my students an additional activity to fill sensory diet needs.

The stamp sets will differentiate literacy and numeracy learning. The design center will allow them to practice a strong grip while engaging in an exciting activity.

Ms. Shana
Grades PreK-2
