My Project

My students are looking forward to returning back to a normal school year after having their school learning disrupted the last 2 1/2 years due to COVID-19. This past school year, in addition to our 4 core subjects (ELA, Math, Science, SS) the only other resource class that students had was PE. Next year, our school plans to return resource classes to our students. Art will be one of the resource classes that all of our students will participate in.

Art is one of the key ways that many students who do not do well academically are able to show their talents, express their feelings and feel good about their final products.

Art should be a fun time to observe and explore. Hands-on activities are the most engaging and fun way to learn. Many students who are not good at academics shine through their artwork. Having an art class will allow these students a chance to feel good about themselves and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.

However, all I was given was $500 from our school budget. $500 to provide art supplies to our entire school population of over 800 students does not go very far. Since my school has about 65% of our student population on free/reduced status, it is very difficult to ask our parents to donate any additional art materials.

I believe hands-on activities will excite, inspire, and motivate all of my students to succeed and feel good about themselves no matter what their socioeconomic background may be.
