Amazing Artists In The Making!

Help me give my students art supplies so we can continue to create, explore, and have fun learning. Having access to watercolor crayons, watercolor pencils, and tempera cakes will allow fun hands-on learning through art.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Martin's classroom raised $345

My Students

I have a diverse group of students from many cultural backgrounds.

We are a Title I school and have many students from low-income households.

Students are from various ethnic backgrounds and speak many different languages. I will be servicing general education, self-contained special education and ICT classes, from Pre K - grade 5.

My Project

Art helps students have the opportunity to learn through hands-on, creative experiences. Having access to different types of mediums such as watercolor crayons, watercolor pencils, watercolor sets, tempera paint cakes, and kwik stix will allow my k-5 grade students the chance to explore different materials in new and creative ways.

Expressing creativity through art is a wonderful way to learn new skills and develop fine motor muscles.

Art also provides children with opportunities to communicate how they are feeling. I believe art education is crucial during the early years of school as it allows children to learn critical skills needed for development.
