They encourage students to add exciting details and highlights to their work, boosting both creativity and fine motor skill practice. The novelty of these supplies is motivating students who are typically reluctant to draw.\r\n\r\nMulticultural Crayons: Celebrating Diversity These crayons are powerful tools for inclusion. They provide a diverse range of skin tones, allowing every student to authentically represent themselves, their families, and the people they study. This helps us foster a classroom environment that celebrates identity, empathy, and belonging.\r\n\r\nYour investment goes beyond art supplies; it is an investment in my students' self-expression and self-confidence.

This book leads us on an adventure around the world. Most of my low socioeconomic students could never even dream of places this mouse goes. Reading books is so important because it can take these students on adventures and away from difficult times, even for a short period of time.
