My Students

My students are of a diverse population and mostly of low-income communities. They come to school with an array of weights on their shoulders besides just what the school day will bring them, we work hard to make school a positive part of their day. To ensure learning can take place without the issue of not having supplies, I equip my classroom with the basics they will need to be successful in class. Additionally, we strive to keep costs low for school supplies by asking for donations of the basic supplies. At the start of every year, my classroom is equipped with it all, however, at this middle of the year, supplies are relativity low and used up.

Like all teachers, we need donations to keep our classrooms going for our small wonders who walk through our doors every day!

My Project

Students have these basic supplies available at all times to use for their own creativity, free time in art classes and sketching out plans for art projects. Students have the option to use these materials until they are used up. Supplies are low and need to be replaced to continue the independent creative process. After school Art Club also enjoyed using just the basics as well to complete their own ideas. Students look forward to having the basics around to sometimes just relax and be creative at a moment in time when they are done with what was assigned.
