Arts Integration to Enhance Learning

My students need art supplies to create arts integration projects in the art room including Mexican air dry clay, air dry clay, multi-hole punches, (soft) colored pencils, liquid watercolor paint, acrylic paint and brushes.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barstow's classroom raised $494

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

My students are amazing. We are a high poverty urban school. Many of my students are first generation Americans. The students are talented and love to learn and create. Their parents are unusually supportive, participating however they can.

Although my students would be considered economically disadvantaged, they are some of the greatest kids I have ever taught.

I want to give them so much but I am limited by the miniscule budget that my school has budgeted for art supplies. If I do not get donations or provide supplies myself, all I can purchase with my school budget is a half a sheet of paper per student each week.

These students are so deserving of a quality art education. Who knows what these children could achieve given the proper tools to support them.

My Project

This year our school will embark on our Arts Integration initiative to increase student engagement in all grades. We have attended workshops and we established community partnership support. Our principal is on board, our committee has been formed and we have a timeline for school-wide implementation.

We will begin with Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration in September/October and we would really appreciate your help in getting these projects off the ground.

A large percentage of our students are Hispanic and this is a major annual family event in our school community. In November we will study Native American culture where we plan to celebrate with an authentic Pow Wow and Native American art projects. In February we will focus our celebration on Black History Month. March will be a literacy celebration with book arts as our focus...please stay tuned!

We need some quality art supplies to create our art. Won't you please help our wonderful students attain a quality integrated education that they deserve!
