My Project

Your generous donations will help me build an area in my classroom for students to express themselves and their emotions when they can not find the words to express themselves.

This area will include art and music supplies for students to use freely to convert their feelings into creations.

The dramatic play and art supplies will be used for them to communicate, draw, and create their feelings and to also show how they can overcome those feelings. For music, I added headphones and soft sound CDs, so they can work on their art and listen to calming, relaxing music to reset their emotions.
