My Project

I love how imaginative my students are. They are always exploring and creating new things. I teach in an integrated classroom with several students who have special needs. I have noticed that all of my students have a special love for paint. I call them my awesome artists!

These materials will make a huge difference in my students learning!

Some lessons that we will be able to do are; letter and number focus by writing letters and numbers with paint. We can also describe characters and setting in a story through paint. For our sensory needs we can use the finger paint with many lessons as well!

They will be able to express their thoughts, ideas, stories, and much more, all through art. This project will help all of my students become successful both inside and outside of our classroom!
