My Project

I am reaching out to you today to kindly ask for your support in helping us acquire to keep our art room functioning at its best. Your donation will directly impact the quality of education our students receive and will help us continue to inspire the next generation of artists.

My goal is to have all students understand the lesson being taught, as well as active participation during instruction from the children.

We have a large population of special education and ELL students, in which, visual instruction is very important. With the Whiteboard Easel and the Laptop desk will help the students to view the procedure of the lesson being taught, as well as, to participate during instruction. They would be able to draw and see their work using the Laptop desk onto the Smart Board. They are very excited to be in the art room, they love to participate during instruction. They are learning about respect for each other, appropriate material usage, as well as experiencing community bonding! Structure, routine and organization enables all our students to understand, explore and create wonderful pieces of art!
