My Project

The students in my High-Five Inclusion classroom love art! Each day they are creating and exploring with our materials and craft supplies. However, our supplies have become limited and I would love to be able to provide them with new and different materials so they can continue to have more open-ended experiences.

My students have been making wings to wear and puppets to play with and our Art Center is helping make our classroom community even stronger.

My students use the open-ended materials to engage with one another and to be creative! It's so exciting to witness and they are learning from peers and truly having fun. Their passion for art is strong!
