My Students

I work with children from a low-income area who are students with multiple disabilities. Many of them have experienced trauma in their lives and have difficulty coming to school. Our classes serve students with a range of disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, emotional disturbance, autism spectrum disorder, and specific learning disabilities.

The typical student in my class reads at a kindergarten grade level and many struggle with basic phonics and number sense.

Ninety percent of our students are African-American or Latino. The opportunity and achievement gaps are apparent among our student population.

Our classrooms are starved of any kind of art or any other creative outlets. Please help me.

My Project

The art program has been taken out of our school. I really believe that art is like therapy to the students that are on the spectrum or have some emotional disturbance. Our students have no art, no crafts and no pretty fuzzy feathers or glitter to make beautiful masterpieces! I want them to be able to make something for the people that mean the most to them.

My students were able to pick out some of the crafts they really want.

If you could have seen what their faces looked like when they were able to give their opinion and it be put into the shopping cart, we were all so happy!
