Help me give my students an Art experience that they Love!! We have no Art program and I'm struggling to find the money to always pay for the art projects they do!!
I work with children from a low income area and 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.
90% 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
I LOVE painting with my students. It get's everywhere but they love to do it! I'm looking for Paint brushes, paint and some of the other stuff that we need to use the paint in order to complete so many projects. They have tossed the Art program in many schools and I feel like it's my Job as a teacher to show my kids something that I loved and enjoyed. Please help me bring this to them. I would love for them to be able to make different things for different people and projects for the classroom. We want to make OUR world beautiful!
