Making Learning Colorful, One Color at a Time

Help me give my students a creative and colorful start to the school year.

Mrs. Kilpatrick Northwest Elementary School

Kinston, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

My students are creative, curious, and eager to learn. They thrive when given opportunities to explore new ideas through hands-on activities and collaborative projects. I love watching them use their imaginations to solve problems, express themselves, and make meaningful connections to what they are learning in the classroom.

These supplies will help bring learning to life for my students and to their artwork.

Construction paper, crayons, and glue sticks will allow them to create projects that reinforce lessons across all subject areas, while laminating sheets will help preserve learning materials that can be used throughout the year. Having access to these resources will encourage creativity, strengthen fine motor skills, and provide engaging opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding.

My ultimate goal is to create a classroom where every student has the tools needed to learn, create, and succeed. By providing these essential materials, I can offer meaningful learning experiences that build confidence, inspire imagination, and make learning colorful one project at a time.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
