My Project

What I love about my students is that, they are loud, proud,beautiful is every shape and form, the way they represent through art blows my mind each and every time, I love the stories behind the art, no matter if its funny, happy, sad, and down right serious, it really means something to them, and that makes it that more important to me, because it's there story and they are the author.

The materials that I am requesting will be able to help our kids explore more opportunities through art and not limit the learner experiences.

They will be able to express there self. I was able to purchase somethings just not all that well will love to be able to use.
