Makers Gonna Make

Help me give my students books to help them find their creative side.

My Students

My students are a group of highly energetic, amazing children with autism in grades 1-5. Many students with autism have difficulties in learning new information, communicating, and social interaction. All of my kids have awesome personalities and love to learn!

The students in my class need small group and teacher led instruction.

Learning through computer based programs are not in the best interest of my kids. Most instruction is hands on and highly interactive. I teach in an urban elementary school in Wisconsin with a high poverty rate.

My Project

After over a year of being virtual, I am excited for everyone to get back into the classroom. I am always looking for ways to enhance our classroom library. The books I have selected for this project focus on creativity. I hope these books will help my students to use their minds to create artwork from their imaginations.

Whether they use, paper, paint or clay, I want them to express their inventiveness.

Art can provide challenges for learners at all levels. Kids learn that art doesn't have a "right" answer. Art also helps children develop motor skills, risk taking and decision-making skills.
