Materials to Express Self

Help me give my students learning how to use their social skills in their outdoor environment and using art to share communicate with each other.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ard's classroom raised $1,138

This project is fully funded

My Project

All of my students want a voice and a change to be heard. They want to be able to communicate with each other, their families, and the world around them. By providing my students with social skill materials this will give them a chance to learn how to appropriately express their feelings with others. It will also give them a chance to learn more about each others feelings and how to express those to one another. By being able to express their feelings with one another, they will be able to better understand those around them and their environment.

By providing us with a gift card to TPT I will be able to purchase paper activities and items for them to practice the skills they are learning.

The craft materials will allow students to communicate with each other through art and written means. The outdoor materials will allow each student to practice these skills such as turn taking and advocating for their selves outside.
