Reading to Enhance the Arts: Books Needed

My students need 25 books about art and artists by various authors to enhance their current art program!!!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. H.'s classroom raised $221

This project is fully funded

My Students

Books are vital in the classroom of each child but rarely do you see classrooms getting books for the ART room. I feel that books about artists and art techniques would enhance the art program for my students, assist them with various projects and enhance their reading skills!

My student body is very diverse!

It is great to have such diversity in the classroom! They are interested, hard-working, creative children that should truly enjoy the wonderful world of art. The school is a Title-1 school that works hard to support each and every student to reach their full potential!

My Project

YOU can make a difference by making a donation today! No matter what the donation you are helping make a way for my students to see the importance of reading in art and using books as a resource to enhance their projects. Reading is vital in the main classroom as well as in art!

These books will give student the opportunity to read if they finish a project early, give them ideas to help with their art work and show how important books can be in any subject!

YOU have taken the time to look at this grant so I know you are a great person looking to help students! This is your chance! Please make a donation today to help show the importance of literacy in Art!
