Empowering Creativity: Art Supplies for Diverse Learners' Classrooms

Help me give my students essential art supplies such as a drying rack and dot art tools. Your contribution empowers our students to explore their talents and enhance their learning experience through artistic expression.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dunn's classroom raised $191

This project is fully funded

My Project

The purpose of the drying rack is to provide a structured and easily accessible space for our neurodivergent learners to store and display their artwork safely. This encourages a sense of accomplishment and pride in their creations. Dot art tools are a great way for students to express themselves through tactile and engaging means, promoting sensory exploration and fine motor skill development. This also encourages self-expression and confidence in their artistic abilities.

My aim for the project is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where diverse learners can explore their creativity, process feelings, and express themselves through art.

My students are uniquely diverse in their strengths and perspectives, each bringing their remarkable talents and abilities to our classroom. By embracing and celebrating their individuality, we create a vibrant learning community where every student's voice is valued and heard.
