My Project

My students come from a very low income area in Arkansas, where art supplies and school organization are the last things on the minds of their parents. I have noticed in the 10 years that I have been teaching that students work harder when they take pride in their work...but high school students are so often neglected. They may be near adulthood, but they are just large sized little kids at heart, needing a few more years to enjoy their diminishing childhood.

My goal is to incorporate color and art into my high school economics class, where supply and demand can be displayed proudly in the hall and opportunity cost can come to life on the walls.

Help me make my students' lives fun and joyful again!
