My Project
I am a 1st-grade teacher at a historical underfunded public school. My students are excited about learning and want to excel in school. I have a large range of learning abilities in my classroom. They come from diverse backgrounds with a variety of needs.
My students are sweet, and they are excited and ready to learn, explore, and take on the world.
I saw this easel on the Lakeshore site and instantly fell in love. It's a perfect size! Art is the perfect subject for my special needs students to excel. Art has no restrictions.
I like that the painting easel is mobile and I can move it wherever I would like if need be making is assessable for all students.
It is also double sided and the best part is that the drying rack is built right in! This painting easel will be an ideal addition to our art center. Let the painting begin for all students regardless of their special needs.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
