Special Education Students Need Some Markers and Paper!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Banoff's classroom raised $158

This project is fully funded

I teach a first grade inclusion class at P.S. 326 in Brooklyn. We are a Title I, early-childhood center. About eighty percent of the students receive free lunch, and approximately seventy-five percent of our students come from homes where a language other than English is spoken. My class consists of 14 students, 7 of whom have been diagnosed with disabilities. Some of these disabilities include speech delays and emotional disorders. Most of these children have a lot of trouble expressing themselves through speaking alone. It is so important for these children to have many opportunities for creative expression. Allowing them to take part in activities such as painting and coloring lets them find other outlets for expressing their thoughts and feelings. Their art projects also act as great springboards for engaging these students in real conversation, something many of them currently have trouble with. When speaking about an art project, the students begin to display important language skills, such as topic maintenance. Although art and illustration is so important in the younger grades, we do not have enough money to buy construction paper or markers for students to display their work. A donation of bright construction paper and markers would create these artistic opportunities in our classroom and at home, as I will send a large amount of paper and markers to each family for homework and enrichment activities. I believe all students deserve all the benefits that come with artistic expression. Thank you so much.
