My Students

I am a Special Education Teacher in an urban, public neighborhood middle school in Erie, PA. The children and families in our school community are a diverse cross-section of many different cultures, ethnic groups, and languages. We are a low-income school district and all our students receive free or reduced-price lunches.

When working with young people, there are times you see results in ten seconds, and there are times you won't see them for ten years.

My Project

My students love doing arts an crafts in their free time. The construction paper will help those who love to cut an make paper crafts. The perler beads will be a great option for those who need a little help with fine motor an hand eye coordinaton. The magnetic tile art will be nice for them to make their own magnets. My students will be able to use their creative minds to make amazing pieces.

"Every artist was first an amateur." Help my students strengthen their artistic minds by suppling these art supplies.
