My Students

Some of my students are emotionally impaired students and this year I have a group that loves arts and crafts. They love to color, draw, paint, and much more. This has proven to teach them how to sit and do something that they love.

My Project

My students need something to do to be able to calm them down. I found that art this year for my students is a good stress relief for them and they really love it. This helps their emotional needs at times. These actives will be used on a weekly basis to allow them to do something that they love. They don't have the chances at home to be able to do art due to funding so I try and let them do it more often at school. Anything will help.
