Color Me Cool!

Help me give my students art paper, paint, water paper, scissors, and makers for art projects. I am an Art and Music Teacher for pre-k. I don't have all the supplies that I need to support the projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mitchell's classroom raised $453

My Project

The items that I am requesting are to teach the students how to use water paint and do water pictures. Also, how to combine different colors and create new colors. The students will do different activities that contain the use of colors in certain places and how to color in a pattern on worksheets. I will be teaching the students how to color and stay in between the lines. The scissors are to teach the students on how to cut out different shapes and sizes while learning to cut in a straight line without cutting the pictures on the paper. The Caddy supplies are to keep all the supplies that I am using for that project together on the table, are at the student's desk. This item will help me introduce/present to the students what we are doing and how we are using the items that I had prepared for them. The musical instruments are for us to make music and see how different instruments sound and look as we make music together in class. Also, I will teach them the names of the instruments as well as we do sing along in music. I have music books on making music with the instruments that I am asking for.

My students are special to me because they are our future.

My students are very motivated and ready to learn new things at such an early age when they come to school. The very special part of my students is that they are supported by their parents/guardians with their education.
