Help me give my students art supplies including paint, Play-Doh, and paint dabbers; as well as voice amplifiers to be used in the classroom with our PPEs.
This is my young students’ first school experience, and for most, their first prolonged separation from a parent, grandparent, or guardian. All of my young students are considered academically at risk. They are also learning to interact with peers for the first time all in the midst of a pandemic. These astonishing children are handling it all with kindness and respect. Each of my students is an amazing kid with endless potential if given the opportunity.
What my young students have in abundance is a lot of love, an inquisitive nature, and a genuine desire to learn all nurtured by our school family.
We are a preschool in an urban, public school system. Our students receive free breakfast and lunch. To them, it doesn't matter what their lives are like at home, when they come to school they know it's a safe place that encourages them to use their imagination, allows them to explore, and helps train them to use their intellect in a fun and creative way.
My Project
My students are running extremely low on paint, and who doesn't love to dip that brush in color and swirl it across paper watching in fascination as the colors blend to create new ones! Paint dabbers allow my students to get creative dotting their way to beautiful works of art using pointillism! Painting not only encourages creativity and an outlet for expression, but it also promotes language development and refines fine motor skills.
COVID-19 has changed so many things in the classroom causing us to explore and learn in different ways.
Play-Doh has always been a favorite. We can still keep with the experience, just maybe not in so many colors as each student now has their own can. Additional Play-Doh will allow for new when the old becomes dried. It also can be sent home in the event of distance learning for ABC, number, and cutting practice. The two-sided counters can be sent home for use with counting and even virtual BINGO. The toner cartridge will allow for color copies to be made for use in the classroom as well as for distance learning if it occurs.
Wearing a mask and shield makes it difficult for my students to hear and understand. The use of voice amplifiers will help with understanding and facilitate learning.
