My students need art supplies for the year: crayons, paper, construction & tissue paper, drawing paper, scissors, crayons that match everyones skin color, and some craft art.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
We are half poverty, high need population in northern California. Our school has no extra funds; we are without many things. Kindergarten is a time to explore and realize who you are who you would want to be and to feel safe. Unfortunately, almost 40% or more of my students are without many supplies.
As a teacher there is so much I can do, and there is nothing at times I can do, this is why we need your help.
These children are so thankful, so wonderful and all they need is someone to believe in them. Therapeutic play can serve in individual growth purposes. In childhood, therapeutic play serves both social and personal function. Children who have had traumatic experiences can work out their demons encountered by their childhood experience as well as many challenges and anticipations of the future. My students come from a varied of backgrounds and countries, I am so lucky be their teacher.
My Project
The solution is simple: My students need a variety of supplies that will help this school year and well into next school year! You will be helping two classrooms in one donation. Art is just as essential as any subject. We do a lot of creative things and focus heavy on academics, but it is also necessary to include the arts. I plan to use all of this wonderful materials towards my beautiful classroom. This is a time when students are not being graded, not judged, but free to create the inner most beauty that lies beneath them. A lot of the students have had very hard lives already. Through art, students create a therapeutic space where they can breathe. We are asking for a variety of items in the classroom that will enrich our lives. We are asking for construction paper, craft supplies, crayons, tissue paper, scissors, crayons that match every skin color, create mini books and lots of drawing and poster paper this will help us to create art we need to make in kindergarten and beyond!
Your donation, no matter how small, can help the children have an art environment throughout the year.
Please help us create an art project inspired by the little artists in my room. You will be happy knowing that these children who have seen too much, gone through too much, will be creating art that always puts a smile on their face and souls.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
