My Students

My students love to come to school and learn. In Math class I am trying to incorporate Art projects to help with more hands on activities. We need scissors that cut, glue that works, and 6 pair of headphones for some students to use in small groups.

I specifically teach 2nd grade with ESOL students who are beginners, Special Ed students who have a hard time writing, and Regular Ed students on various levels from Kindergarten level to 3rd grade.

All of my students want to learn and have fun doing it.

My Project

With the required school supplies available to my students they will be able to develop their fine motor skills by cutting papers for math activities, completing art projects, as well become better listeners when they are on the computers during center time.

My students love new things in our room.

Receiving new tools for them to use during lessons would make my students more excited to learn the lesson in order to get the Art projects that usually come after the lessons.
