I have the privilege of teaching art to almost 300 amazing students! My students attend a school that services individuals ages 2 to 21 with severe cognitive, physical, social, and emotional disabilities. My students are amazing and work so hard to overcome all of their daily challenges.
Each and every day I have the opportunity to engage my learners in fun, visual and tactile learning experiences by combining literacy and art!
My students are so amazing and work so hard to complete the tasks I present to them.
My Project
I love to incorporate literacy into my art activities. As an art teacher, I like to begin my art lessons with a read aloud related to the season, holiday, or even connected to the curriculum theme. As an art teacher for a school of almost 300 students, art supplies go quickly! I love what I do, but having to provide supplies for that many lessons and 300 students can be costly!
Having these new supplies will allow my students to create lots of literacy inspired art projects.
We can use salt to make snowflakes after reading Snowmen at Night. We can use pipe cleaners, googly eyes, and tissue paper to make butterflies in the spring after reading the story, Welcome Back Spring. After reading, The Tiny Seed, we can make tissue paper flowers. There are so many possibilities with these amazing craft supplies!
