Creative Imagination Reboot!

Help me give my students clay, a button maker, Spot It!, and other creative supplies to reboot their imaginations!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Atkins's classroom raised $600

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are halfway through the school year! They are enjoying the different ways that we are exploring creativity, literacy and their imaginations. They are ready for new supplies to support them until the end of the school year.

They will use the button maker to make images of she-roes for Women's History month.

Students are studying Harriet Tubman and reading her autobiography. They will use the buttons as an artistic extension to express different images and quotes from the book. They will use the clay to create pottery that helps them understand the ways of the Ohlone and how they created pottery.

They will use the beads to decorate their pottery to extend their learning.

I appreciate all the ways you are willing to support my amazing students!
