My Project
In kindergarten, color isn’t just decoration—it’s a powerful tool for learning, expression, and discovery. My students are just beginning their educational journey, and having access to a variety of art materials like Crayola markers, colored pencils, and crayons will allow them to explore their creativity, learn through color, and brighten their learning environment. With an electric sharpener, students will also gain independence by keeping their tools ready to use, helping them feel responsible and confident in their work. Color brings joy, sparks imagination, and helps little minds connect with big ideas.
As Pablo Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist.
The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” By giving my students the tools to create freely, you're encouraging them to express themselves and see the beauty in the world around them. Thank you for helping us color our world—you’re not just giving supplies, you're giving confidence, creativity, and inspiration to every child in our classroom.
