My Project

Our JAG Jobs for our graduating class would like to team up with the life skills special needs students at our high school for a tactile day of play. We want to paint, draw, create and make things with our buddies.

The resource class students at our school are often isolated from others and we want to pair up with our peers as best buddies and create some tactile art stations for them.

Our goal is to help make connections between students and have some fun! The play dough and sculpting materials were suggested by the special education classroom teacher.
