Topic:
A welcoming idea!

Message:
This is a great idea in a classroom that has special needs students. Overall, I feel that the choice-based art classroom gives all students the equal opportunities to work on a project they would like to do. They are able to create their own master pieces with little help. All students are creative, they have to be given the opportunity to show their creativity. In many classrooms the problem is that we do not realize that special needs student have just as much potential as other students. Art is a joy that everyone can share in a classroom!
