STUDENTS’ ARTWORK
ON DISPLAY: MARCH 1 - 31
In celebration of Youth Art Month, observed nationally in March, we are pleased to showcase a vibrant selection of artwork created by Cedar Chapel Special School students as part of their "I 💗 Poetry - Anthology of Free Verse" project.
CCSS Poets are using the Expanding Expression Tool (EET 🟢🔵👁️🟤💗❤⚪️❓) to grow language through the creative process of art.
EET, created by Sarah L. Smith is a systematic and multi-sensory approach designed to enhance expressive language skills, particularly for individuals who struggle with organizing and expressing their thoughts.
By prompting individuals to use the color-coded bead system, EET aims to improve the ability to provide detailed and comprehensive descriptions. The hands-on physical prompt helps create a visually structured framework, making it easier for individuals to organize their thoughts and communicate more effectively.
Each bead represents a specific question that provides detailed descriptions and expanded expressions.
