Exploring the World Through Easels!

Funded Dec 12, 2018

Wow! First, I would like to give a BIG thank you to everyone who supported my first project, "Exploring the World Through Easels!!!" I couldn't have done it without you guys.

The students were absolutely amazed when they walked into the classroom and saw not one, but 2 brand new items. "What's this?, What do you do with it?, Can I use it?, and soooo cool" were some of the comments they made. The class jumped right in and we used the easels immediately.

The students enjoy solving math problems on the teacher's easel. They love that magnetic numbers and counters stick to the board to help them count. They also use the lined side of the easel to practice forming their letters. They get to pretend that they are the teacher....it's such a great way to learn!

The art easel has been used in our "Light" unit. You can see images of the students representing daytime and night time. It is currently being used in our "Water" unit. Students have enjoyed painting rainy day pictures, and beach scenes.

The easels are used daily in the classroom and they are useful in supporting the students' independence. Each student is able to use the teacher easel or the art easel on their own to show off what they have learned. I can't wait to see what great things they will create with the easels in our "Plant" unit!!!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Bobian
