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 Students

I teach a sixth, 7th, and 8th-grade special education, multiple subjects class in New York. My classroom demographic is diverse. My students are aged ten to twelve. Many have been diagnosed with autism, cognitive/developmental delays, sensory impairments, both visual and auditory.

I have a class of 5 boys and 3 girls this year.

All of my students receive free school lunches. Ninety percent of my students are from broken homes. My scholars do not have access to technology at home. Most of them are below grade level in reading and require tremendous support academically.

My Project

Unfortunately, my scholars do not have access to art supplies. I have been relying on the basic supplies I have in my classroom. They are unable to fully express their ideas and creativity through art because of the limited art resources at our disposal.

Many of my scholars get very excited when they get to use the paint I currently have.

Unfortunately, our limited supplies are running out. My scholars are forced to rely on pencil and paper to draw. This approach really limits their creativity. I realize that when completing art assignments my scholars are very relaxed and seem to be in a blissful state when drawing.

People help me enhance our art therapy sessions by donating these supplies for our scholars. I am so grateful for your kindness.
