Help me give my students the art supplies we need to continue to explore a variety of art projects in this year of remote learning! Each student will receive an art kit for use at home.
My students are curious, creative, enthusiastic movers and shakers who are interested in and excited to learn about the many wonders in the world around them. As one of a handful of alternative schools in our large urban district, our school is often sought out by families who are looking for a different approach to learning for their students. Our students often "think outside the box" and don't often fit the typical "color within the lines" student profile.
They are active learners who are vocal and kinesthetic, kind and inquisitive; who like to talk, share and move in our warm school community; and who love to learn in a hands-on way, by doing.
In our classroom, we work intentionally to be inclusive and welcoming of all members of our community and all the people we meet, and integrate social-emotional learning along with our academic learning every day!
Our school uses a yearlong, project-based approach to learning called "expeditionary learning" which encompasses academically rigorous learning in a specific topic area in a hands-on, project-based and integrated way. Students find this approach to learning highly engaging and enjoyable; they truly have a zest for learning and give their efforts 110%!
My Project
These art supplies will be made into kits for each student to use at home in this year of remote learning. Having needed supplies will allow every student to explore and create fun, engaging projects together with friends, providing a hands-on learning opportunity to balance all the time we're spending on the computer this year, and promote whole child learning, healthy self-expression and creativity!
Our school uses expeditionary learning as a lens and these art kits will allow us to show what we're learning through a variety of art projects!
