Mrs. T. from Newark DE is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Adding Creative Flare to the ELA Classroom

Help me give my students ways to express their creativity in the classroom. We need new markers and color pencils to create visual representations of our reading, posters for class, and creative projects.

My Students

My students are creative, collaborative learners! They enjoy working in pairs and small groups.

My students come from a variety of backgrounds.

Some students have lived in our community all their lives, as their parents did before them, some are new to the state, the country, and the American way of life! Many students come from low-income households.

My Project

Our classroom markers and color pencils are long past their prime. Please help my students record their reading creatively by supplying our classroom with post-its, color pencils, and markers to track our reading in a creative way.

Students love to present their thoughts in creative new ways, but that's hard to do without markers and color pencils to make their work come to life.

We also use these items to move through our end of unit tasks to highlight components of a good essay and help our peers edit their work.
