My Project

In our classroom, we strive to create an environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning. With your support, we aim to enrich our students' educational experience by providing them with access to a diverse selection of novels and art supplies. These resources will not only enhance their literacy skills but also inspire them to explore their creativity through artistic expression. By incorporating literature and art into our curriculum, we can engage students in meaningful learning experiences that extend beyond the confines of traditional textbooks. As a Dual Language classroom, having books available in Spanish and with representation for multiculturalism is critical.

The novels we are requesting will expose our students to a wide range of genres, cultures, and perspectives.

Through reading, they will develop essential literacy skills such as comprehension, analysis, and interpretation. Additionally, these novels will spark their imagination, broaden their horizons, and encourage empathy as they connect with characters from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

The art supplies we are seeking will provide our students with the tools they need to express themselves creatively. From drawing and painting to sculpting and collage-making, these supplies will allow them to explore different mediums and techniques. Engaging in art activities not only enhances fine motor skills but also promotes problem-solving, self-expression, and emotional well-being. By integrating art into their learning, we can cultivate a classroom culture that celebrates individuality and fosters a sense of pride in their creative accomplishments.
