Color Me Happy

Help me give my students a tabletop writing center, tempera painters, and other art supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Claypool's classroom raised $472

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 Project

There is color all around us and my students love to bring that color into the classroom! My students are constantly drawing pictures for us and their families. As they are still young and learning how to write, most of our classwork involves creating a picture to go along with our discussions.

My students are creative with active imaginations.

These art supplies will be able to help with their creativity and fine motor skills. The tabletop center will be a space saver and create a center of its own. While the painting sticks are a great introduction to using paints in the classroom.

Ms. Claypool Dessau Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
