My Project

This project will enable our class to begin the school year with the art supplies we need to be creative and expressive in our first-grade classroom. We will ask parents to send in donations, but often times we don't have everything we need, especially at the beginning of the school year. Students will have the opportunity to go beyond just the smallest pack of crayons and markers by being able to choose from different shades of color and a variety of fine and broad line markers.

The students love having the various shades to choose from as their illustrations take shape as they match their writing.

The journals will give the students a place to write and draw and the folders and baggies will help contain their creations.
