My Students
My students are talented and creative in their unique ways. As an educator for English Language Learners, I am aware of the concrete and hands-on materials that the children rely on to learn. Not only do my students attend a Title I school they also are on the spectrum, where sitting behind a computer to learn is not in their best practice. My students were used to the puzzles, arts, technology, and in-classroom resources to learn day to day life skills. Sadly, many of my kids are left to find a way to learn on their own.
My Project
These art materials and tools will be used by students and the guidance of their guardian to be creative and artistic. Art is a great way to facilitate learning within their homes unfortunately my families find it financially difficult to provided these materials for their child. With these materials my plan is to give these kids the ability to self express what they are learning in remote learning through the arts. Whether it’s water painting, coloring a picture to reflect a book we are reading, or simply express their daily feelings; having these art materials readily available will provide me the opportunity to assign more art projects. Working with several different populations within district 75, there are different ways to support the learning of the children. For example a simple writing and art task can require visual support, while some require step by step or hand over hand support. The highlighters in this project is a simple way to provide that support within the homes.
