Art Makes Us Smart!

Help me give my students art supplies to express their understanding for new material!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bailey's classroom raised $1,037

This project is fully funded

My Project

The art supplies I am seeking will significantly enhance the learning experience for my students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. By providing them with these materials, we can create opportunities for them to express their creativity and demonstrate their understanding of the curriculum in a tangible way.

Additionally, nearly half of my students are English Language Learners.

Utilizing projects that incorporate art allows them to showcase their knowledge and skills without the constraints of language barriers. This not only fosters a deeper comprehension of the subject matter but also builds their confidence.

My students are incredibly diverse, coming from all walks of life, and each one has unique strengths and perspectives. This project aims to celebrate that diversity and promote inclusivity within our classroom.
