My Students

Bring out the creativity in my First Graders with some awesome crayons. These crayons will make their work come alive through color. I know their thirst for color will explode if they have better supplies at their tiny fingertips.

My students are bright and creative First Graders who love to make their work look outrageous with color.

They are from an urban city school in Connecticut with 25 students in their class. The majority of our class is boys, but my girls keep the boys on their toes when it comes to doing super work with beautiful color. They love to have nice things but are not given the opportunity in receiving enough supplies so that they can do their best work at all times. However, they do try their best with what we have and always share with their classmates who need to use their supplies.

My Project

If given these crayons my students will be able to make their work come alive. They will be able to use color in all they do. We use color in our writing, math and reading activities. They use color with art, science and all activities that we do in class. Even their homework will look better if they have the proper use of color. My students are always wanting to do their best in all they do and make their work look outstanding. By having the crayons at their fingertips this can help them achieve their goal and make them feel proud of the work that they have completed.

Donations of these crayons will make my students appreciate what good work can really look like.

By having their own crayons they will feel important and want to take care of them so that they can do their best work at all times. I know that if given these crayons my students will appreciate what they have and take pride in all that they produce in the classroom. Please help my students make their work have Beautiful Color through the donations of these crayons. Thanks for your support.
