My Project

I have the privilege of teaching some creative students! I need your help to give these wonderful students some needed art supplies for our projects. We need paint, construction paper, markers, ink pads, and variety of art supplies.

In our special needs classroom, I incorporate science and social studies topics across all subject areas to increase understanding and skills.

One of the ways is through art. This gives them opportunities develop fine motor skills and following directions. But most importantly, it gives them opportunities to be creative individuals. It is so exciting to see their joy and pride when they complete an art project.
