My Project

We are a Pre-K inclusion class of diverse learners within Oakland Unified School District and our students learn by being hands-on with their minds fully engaged!

We would love to offer our students an easel to serve as our painting hub to make painting more accessible for many of our students with diverse mobility needs.

We have been experimenting this year with painting with different materials, including nature-based objects. We would like to add more sensory materials of different textures to our art explorations including slime and water beads! We engage our students by using the process of discovery and inquiry: What does this feel like? What happens when I try this?

Thank you for supporting our class in our latest exploration with paint and touch, art and science!
