This teacher needs your help!

Art, Music, Geometry

Help me give my students opportunities to construct objects in Geometry and new art experiences in Art class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barr's classroom raised $369

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will cover needs across more than one class! The compasses will provide Geometry students with materials to reliably construct objects in geometry class with a tool that will hold a larger pen and will not slide out of alignment. Art students will learn to create shapes and paint with the clay sensory art kits. Art students will also be able to use robotic finger tools to create music with the Spheros. Students in computer science and art will be able to protect their fingers from burns while using hot glue guns.
