My Project

My students are mainly non verbal and struggle to express what they are trying to say and or do. Finger paints helps us work with them so they can show how smart they truly are and what they know. Students will use the chart paper, construction paper and finger paints to write letters of the alphabet as well as their numbers. They will also utilize it for colors and many other unique learning ways to stay engaged and learning at a pace and style that works best for them. All kids can learn some just learn in different ways!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
