I teach kindergarten in a Title One School in a rural part of South Carolina. My class size has increased to 25 students this year. I view kindergarten as a wonderful opportunity to teach and nurture our youngest students. I strive to encourage and support each child's creativity. One way I achieve this is through the use of art materials.

Our budget has been drastically cut; therefore, there are no funds for many supplies, especially those related to art. I have very limited art supplies to offer my 25 students this year. In the past, my kindergarten children engaged in daily art activities that required the use of various materials to enhance their creativity and problem-solving skills. This year, due to lack of funds, I will not be able to provide them with the necessary art materials they will need.

The students need a variety of materials in order to create collages. They also need opportunities to paint pictures and mold dough. Along with engaging the children in fun, creative experiences, these art supplies will also improve their fine motor skills required for writing.

Your donation will bring fun learning experiences into my classroom that will enhance creativity, problem-solving skills and fine motor skills. Furthermore, your help will provide young artists with their first paintbrush.
