Ms. Reid from Laytonville CA is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

36 Colors Why?

Help me give my students some basic tools to work at home. During a shelter in place what I was able to send home was mismatched and hopefully will hold a point.

My Students

In my classroom, we try to harness the energy of middle school students. Rather than sit and read, we try to move and do. Let's apply math and science to real-world situations, collaborate, problem-solve and elucidate.

The seventh-grade class assembled and sold 177 pot pies as a fundraiser on Pi Day.

Not only did they make the dough from scratch, cook up stock from the chicken bones and peel dice and measure 45 pounds of potatoes, but they also calculated the cost of construction versus price per pie. We love doing in our classroom: math art using compasses, pond water under microscopes, catapults built from Popsicle sticks.

My Project

In the classroom, we share, we take turns, we lend someone our green. But now, during a shelter in place, we don't have enough to go around. Many of the math and science projects involve color coding, diagramming, and illustrating concepts. Our posters and explanations and compass art look so much cooler and are so much more fun when we can choose a color, and sharpen it.

Our rural area does not have many art supply stores, and our families have even less access during a shelter in place.

These supplies will brighten our students' days and help them, not only to incorporate art into science and math but organize their notes, complete color by number algebra assignments, and graph their data.
